Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 09-30-2001 07:04 A single HTML element can only have one background image, sorry. You'll have to do it differently, like with a real image tag, or with a layer that only contains the image, put behind the content.

This is supposed to work with NN4 and IE 4
body {
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

If you want placement you can use a DIV with a z-index of 0 and position it absolutely

For details of what you can do in CSS2 compliant browsers see the specs (you can place the background pretty precisely and if you like put all the declarations into one line - although I prefer to do things long hand as I find it easier when I come back to edit things):
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#background-properties

And bitdamaged is right it is no-repeat not none as I put (how I missed it as it was sitting there staring at me I don't know).

You can specify this all at once like this, also:

background: #000 url(bgimg.jpg) center no-repeat;

("center" will center the image on the page.)

Note that NN 4.x will only understand the CSS background properties if you specify them like this, I think.

Okay, the one Emperor gave worked great but Is it actually possible to put two backgrounds at once with one repeating and on just stay in one position, I tried different ways but they only use the background I put last:

body { background: white url("Background-Squares.jpg"); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-position: center;}
body { background: white url("Bubble-Background.jpg"); background-position: 100% 100%; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top left;}

i used this one and whatever i put last that's the only background image it shows. Anyone have a clue what to do?

Not sure if i understood the question, but is this what you mean?

Z-INDEX="n"
ABOVE="layername"
BELOW="layername"

The background would have to be on it's own layer, no?
The only problem you have is when you use a plug-in, as far as i

In case of:

background: #000 url(bgimg.jpg) center no-repeat;

NN4 won't understand "center" and will place the image on the top - left.
Not thay I care about NN4 but might be interesting for somebody.
