background width

does anyone know the width that i would make my background for my site to keep it from tiling in a browser?

that depends on what resolution people are viewing it in but if you make in 1280 that will take care of 95 percent of the viewers. most viewers will be surfing at (800 X 600) or (1024 X 768).

specify the background using a css tag.

You could make a layer below your content and place an image on it with a width and height of 100%.

asymlt;style type=asymquot;text/cssasymquot;asymgt;
BODY {
background-image: url(background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y; (or repeat-x or both.)
(can set start position with asymquot;background-position: 0px 0px;asymquot;<b></b>)
}
asymlt;/styleasymgt;
