I am having difficulties with my background image, its just to the left and I can't seem to arrange to the centre, can any1 help? Would I have to go back to my image and edit it with space on the left and right sides placing the image into the centre, I have created it in photoshop. Cheers

How would you know what resolution people have?

Have a look at background-position.

or you could put the background image in a table and centre the table. would mess with the whole rest of any design you had though as content would have to sit within than table. follow stick's guide, he knows best

You might want to give this a try....

body {
margin: auto 0px;
}

cheers stickman just trying to learn HTML I think I'm getting there. Just trying to understand where exactly certain abbreviations go?

Just experimenting at the minute. Any reason why the background doesn't center I've tried those from w3school didn't work!

Code?

[Damion]

body {
background-image: url(photoshop/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}

[Damion]

what do you think?

[stickmus]

body {
background-image: url(photoshop/background.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}

missing a semi-colon there.

you could also do it all in one background definition like this:

background:url(blah) no-repeat center;

As an aside why didn't w3c make it repeat-no. That would make it much easier to change e.g. repeat-x to repeat-no.
