What do you have for your code?

Maybe this will help:

<body background="yourimagename.gif" bgcolor="#ffffff" bgproperties="fixed">

Thanks, I've actually tried that code but the background still repeats. And the code I'm using is

<body background="http://www.freewebs.com/katiecarlson/sakabg.bmp">

It is possible that your content area is wider than your background. That will cause it to repeat. If you are using "div" or "table" you can fix it so that the width doesn't exceed the pixel width of your background.

Your image is over 1100 pixels wide. Since most people use screen sizes of 800 or a liitle over 1000; it is already wide enough. Just adjust your content instead.

It all depends on what you are using for your site. Frames, CSS, tables, etc.

To give you a place to start here are Lissa's pages on the above.

http://www.lissaexplains.com/tables.shtml

http://www.lissaexplains.com/frames.shtml

What you are look for once you find what is similar to what you are using is the codes and tips for are key words such as no-repeat (good for the background), fixed, center, px, %; just to name a few possiblities.

Almost forgot. If you use div layers look here for a place to start. http://www.lissaexplains.com/css3.shtml
