I've tried all of the suggestions here. I searched an studied the HTML and CSS tutorials and examples.

This is my latest. No errors detected.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="New1.css" />
</head>
</html>

All I get is a line of color acroos the top of the page.

Here is my New1.css . . .

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight:normal;
text-decoration: none;
color: Black;
background-color: Black;
background-image: url(D:/RealEstate/XSite/TestSplash.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: center;

What am I doin wrong?

Thanks . . . RickinRSM

Hi Rick,

WYSIWYG (from interface tools)

Style menu (or button in the toolbar) > Color > set background-color,
background-image and background-repeat (it refers to background image).

OR (better)

In (X)HTML

<body style="background-color: #000000; background-image: url(filename);
background-repeat: no-repeat">

OR (much better)

In the CSS

body {
background: black left(..or right..) top(..or bottom..) no-repeat;
background-image: url('mv-f4-1078-312-rr-01.jpg')
}
