Re: Web Page Sizes and Absolute Positioning

In my previous post I wrote that the CSS should be
body { background-repeat:repeat-x; }

I forgot to add that you have to name the background image as well

So I would try
body { background: url(mybackground.jpg) fixed top repeat-x; }

This
1. names the background image
2. Specifies that the background image is fixed (does not scroll with the
rest of the page)
3. specifies its position at the top
4. directs that it is to be repeated in the x direction

The use of the background:fixed is unnecessary in this case, and actually
makes the page visually annoying (in my opinion). Use it or not - it's your
choice. But it's not required to make the whole thing work....
