Hi all,it's been a while since I spoke to you guys. I'm designing a newsletter for our ICT Directorate to be posted on our University website within the next couple of hours. Now I want give the white space behind the main page a christmas background. Where in the code do I put "Background image? I ask this question because I put this in the body tag and the Christmas image completely removed the page, turning the entire page into a christmas decoration. Please let me know as soon as possible as my deadline is fast approaching. The link for the newsletter is http://www.geocities.com/kkisie2000/. By the way forget the look of the newsletter as this is a temporary link.thanx kaz

Well if doing the background in HTML it woudl be somethine like this:

<body background="image_name.gif">

For CSS:

body{ background-image: url('image_name.gif');background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position:  center; }

For references see:HTML: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_backgrounds.aspCSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

you may need to adjust the background-repeat depending on your imageyour options are

background-repeat:no-repeatrepeat-yrepeat-xbackground-position:topbottomleftrightcenter

you can also use a combination on positioning, eg background-position: top left;
