Background

[Flame1622]

I'm a noob at html, but, how would I make the background stop repeating at a certain point?

[chibineku]

Hm, I think they either repeat, repeat horizontally, repeat vertically or don't repeat at all. Hide it behind another element? Create an image that is itself a mozaic of the repeating image that is only the size you want?

I want it to repeat 2 times also it repeats horizontally how would I place an image behind text?

[chibineku]

If it's a background image, then it'll sit behind text anyway. If it's not, you need to give the text a higher z-index than the image (i.e. anything above 0) and position it where you want, either relatively or absolutely. But you can't trust that it will always look like that - better to make an image consisting of 2 repetitions of the image

Would it be easier to just learn CSS code for the background?

[chibineku]

No, I still think it's easier just using a composite image, but it's worth learning the CSS anyway as it will be essential if you continue in web design.

I learned HTML last night so I barely know half of it, how would I use background-repeat with repeat-x repeat-y?

[chibineku]

if you want to repeat on both axis, and the background is for the body element, then do this:body {background: url(path/to/image.jpg) repeat;}You have to add style at the top, between the head tags, and also between <style type="text/css> </style> tags. It's past my bed time, but I or someone else can give you a more thorough briefing tomorrow.
