Body background

How can I set body background with an image, but centered and not tiled?

When I put background="image1", it fills my page with the image many times.
I only want to put at the beggining and centered. I don't won't to use <img
src="image1"> because I have a choice menu that I want over the image.

IE only or all browsers. For all browsers, you will have to make a DIV with
a Z-order that places it in back. This is easiest when you use the grid
layout in Visual Studio .NET (ie, you set all items into DIVs). A Panel can
be used to set the watermark in, as a panel control becomes a DIV when
rendered.

To see this in action (outside of VS.NET), you can go to:

To set a watermark for IE only, simply choose the body element (right click
a page and go to properties in VS.NET) and set bgPropeties to fixed. That
will cement the image as a watermark.

Hi, ruca,

You should do some reading on cascading style sheets, I think. Anyway, try:

<body style="background: url(images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center
transparent;">

Just change "images/background.jpg" with the path+filename of your image.
