Hi all. This site is pretty informative although I am a guy so the bright pink and yellow dont appeal to me altogether. Anyways.. It is about the best site I can find but when Lissa talks about backgrounds in her html section she doesn't say how to position images. Is it possible to stretch the image across the screen? or center it if that is possible? and with either I would like to make it so that the background does not move as you scroll down. Maybe this isn't so simple afterall. I used to have all this stuff down to a "T". I haven't done it in a few years. Once I get everything together maybe I can help the rest of you. Html has changed a little since I used to use it.

Later

Maybe the colors have made you thick, but everything you've just been talking about is covered here:

to have a background centered, you will have to use css for positioning it.

for keeping it still, css can do that or you can enter this into the opening body tag...
bgproperties="fixed"

as for stretching a background image, i don't think that can be done very easily. its better to resize the image to a respectable size first, then add it into your coding, and be happy with whatever results.

Alrighty that will do. I finally finished reading all the html and css stuff. I get it now.
