Is there anyway to specify that an image should stretch and shrink to fit a
screen background? I can make it "repeat" but I'd like it to adjust as the
screen is resized.
Not as background, no. You are confined to repeat in a couple of
directions and to a few positioning parameters. So the way to work with
such limitations is to choose/make your image carefully so it looks
natural when repeated. For example, a straight or even gently winding
road can be made to meander on forever to the right of a house as a user
opens his browser wider and wider.
You can specify an image (using the img element, not a background) to be
a percentage of a browser window. This is is easily done and the image
will stretch. Again, one would need to choose an image that lends itself
to such distortion.
In the latter case,you can still get backgound image effects by using
various postioning schemes and margins for other elements. Also
z-indexing and there are fancy opacity possibilities...
