    Duh question: background image

    BruceCSI2 Community Member
      I would like to have a background image that takes up the entire screen but without repeating. Is there any way to do this other than sizing the image I'll use as the background to match the highest resolution?

          only options are to
          a) repeat your BG image x, y or both xy - but you dont want to do this
          b) make you're image very very large ... this will not cover everyone but
          99.999999% of people (there is no "highest resolution"
          c) use flash to create your site
          d) use a solid color
          e) fake it ... make a large image that (lets say) fades out to black, then
          do this: body { background: #000 url('images/bg.gif') no-repeat top left; }
          f) offer to go to everyone who ever vistis your site and describe to them in
          person what the background SHOULD look like

          :)

            You can write some simple javascrip code to determine either window or screen size.
