I'm trying to help a friend of mine get started on his webpage. He has a background, but it stretches beyond the area of the screen. Is there an auto resize option in html? I cant seem to figure it out. Here is his webpage currently:

Djphilmz

The tag used is <BODY BACKGROUND="scn271b.JPG"> (bottom of the source)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My advice would be don't use Microsoft Word to make web pages. If you don't want the background to loop, you could put it into a table. It would be nice if you used actual text too so visitors can copy the e-mail address or something ..

<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:6px; left:250px; width:319px; height:401px">
<center>
<IMG BORDER="0" HEIGHT=401 WIDTH=319 ALT="My background" SRC="bad.jpeg"></A></center>

rename the bad.jpeg to his image

then play with the settings ie...set the width and height to his image also set the top to "0" and the left to "0"
and it should work the image should be at least 1280x 1024 imho but ymmv
