How do you change placement of the background image (repeat, not repeat, etc.)

[gemini2011]

I have looked in several books and each tell me to do something different. None of the methods work. How do I change the background so it is non-repeat, repeat, just on the left (not repeating horizontally)?? I would really appreciate any help. This prblem has really been burning me up.:mad:

If you are using CSS, here you go:

background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: left;

...or for no repeat:

background-repeat: no-repeat;


...and if you want it to repeat left to right only:

background-repeat: repeat-x;

...or if you want it to repeat top to bottom only replace the 'x' with a 'y'.

Is that what you wanted? You need to use CSS for this to work, it will not work as HTML coding. You may put this in a document or externally -- if you have questions about that, post and I'll tell you.

I was looking for an answer in HTML. That is the concept I am looking for just in HTML not CSS.

You were talking about 'repeat' so you are already using CSS. :)

You can't affect the display or behavior of a background in HTML -- you can just have it or not. If it's there it will tile. You need CSS.

learning CSS canonly do you good so don't clutter up with html :)
