how do i center my background image? i usually put background-position: center; but then it comes out messed up, and u can't see my image! :confused:

That is the right code to centre it.
A link to the page/code would help to see if something else is causing the problem.

Did you make sure the image has the right name?

Or if it's uploaded or in the same folder as the page with the CSS code on it.


body
{ background: #ffffff;
background-image: url(YOURIMAGE.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: value; [scroll, fixed]
}

Ok, I want my layout something like this http://ciarafan.com/top.html where I have a background, and then my other image. I made the background here: http://ericbal4.net/test15.htm and I want my other "image" to be in the center of it. Like the site above and this here : drewfullerfan.com thnx :) I hope that helped. ;)

Your background comes up as a 2MB image for me. That is MUCH too large, you definitely need to scale it down. There's no need to have a 1000x7000px image.
There's also nothing on that page so we can't really tell if what you're doing has errors. To make a layout like the one you posted you can either just put <center> before the entire layout or put it in a table, making sure not to use absolute positioning.

Ok, thanks. The background image that I showed you us what I want as a background. But to make sure it fit, I made it large. So what size should I make it then, if it's too large?

So...yeah that's my background and then I made another image which I'll put the center tage ;) Just wondering, so I can kno and not make it too large or too small, what size should I make this image? For the <center></center tags? I want it this size: http://drewfullerfan.com/index.php thnx :)

*hope it's not cunfusing!

That image is arouund 750px. With that size it will fit nicely into 800x600 resolution + (found that by right clicking on image > properties)
For the background image, the best thing to do is get it so that it can be repeated. Try cropping it to a new 25x25 file, and repeating it to see if it gets the same look... I don't have much experience with background images so I can't help you much there.

Thnx. I got the image size :) I Just need to know what size to make my background. I tried what u said making it a 25x25, but it dodn't work :( So I hope some one can help me with that :)

Thnx for your help Kittycat :)!!
