I would like to add a jpg to a page property without the graphic being
tiled. I would like the picture to fill the background without repeating.
Is there a way to do this with FP 2003?

Thanks,
Fred

background images tile by design
- make you image at least 1600x1200

You can use CSS to control the tiling of any background image. To keep your
page's background image from tiling, use this CSS -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
-->
</style>

Making your background image as large as Stefan recommends is usually not
the best approach to such problems - it's more like using a sledgehammer to
kill a fly, doncha know?

Hi Murray,

Thanks for the responses on these questions. I've been experiementing quite
a bit with what you've said and I can only make it woik after a fashion.
Your code does, indeed, stop the tiling but the picture (whether full
background or table) only fills a portion of the background. I need to keep
increasing the size of the picture to fill most of the background. This
seems like it would put me back to Stefan's suggestion. Is there a way to
both stop the tiling and stretch the picture so it fills or is it necessary
to keep experimenting with the size of the picture?

There's a good reason why that one doesn't woik: it don't woik. Background
images don't stretch. Never have - never will. Just get over it, if you
can! 8)

Seems like an impossible task. Consider different screen resolutions,
different browsers, and even the different amount of space available for the
same browser and screen resolution. Many (most?) pictures would look funny
if you stretched them in one direction more than the other. I suggest you
size your picture for one particular screen resolution/browser and repeat it
just once. Perhaps you can add a nice complimentary background color which
would be visible only for those users with more screen turf to cover than
your picture.
