I do want it as a background. An image as a background.

And I want it to take up the whole screen, kind of like how on the desktop you can stretch an image (larger or smaller) to fit the screen as your background.

I can see that this may require an alternate plan though... :sigh:

edit: OK, let me try and explain what I am trying to do here first, and then you can offer alternative suggestions.

The look that I want on this web page is for an image to fill the whole page as a background. It's basically supposed to look like a piece of paper, on top of which I have tables of images which are I believe 3X4 (3 Rows of 4 images).

The image looks like a piece of stationary, and I want it to fit perfectly on the page with the tables of images sitting "on the paper".

When I finally secure my domain name, and find a host for this web project, I can show you all what I mean by linking you to it.
(And I will also send out a call for image submissions as well - Stay tuned )
But for now, you just have to try and picture it. Sorry.

Thanks everyone for your help by the way.
