Currently im working on a website for my XBL Team.

Im going for a simple yet effective look.

Currently im trying to achieve a look similar to this ( www.gamefaqs.com)

With the image in the background, and a banner that matches.

MY current problem is getting my Image to autofit to the background. I dont want to resize it my self and have it look ok on one resolution and look like crap on another.

I've tried some CSS but havent really touched much of that in my experience.

All the help that can be provided would be great. thank you.

Here's how they did it... This goes in your css style sheet. Of course the url to the image will change to point to the image on your site..

body{background:#dcdcdc url(http://image.com.com/gamespot/shared...default/bg.gif) 
repeat-y top center;
color:#333;margin:0;}

Sorry, Here is the correct one...

Again, you will need to adjust it so that it will use your image.

body {background:#2e4e32 url("http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/Ads/7552/12/Nintendo_ChildrenFAQSkin.jpg") no-repeat fixed top; }

I've tried that and it just creates a green background behind my website

Do you have any syle sheets set up yet? This will need to go in your style sheet.
If your style sheet is in the file it will look like this:

 <style type="text/css">
<!--
body {background:#2e4e32 url("http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/Ads/7552/12/Nintendo_ChildrenFAQSkin.jpg") no-repeat fixed top; }
}
-->
</style>

No, see that i can do.

But im trying to get the CSS to autosize the Image to fix perfectly into whichever Resulotion.

So if i use that coding with my quite larger image, it only shows 1/4 the image

The gamefaqs site does the same thing. View the background image and notice how big it is..!

You need to shoot for your typical audience. make the graphic meet their standards for screen rez, etc.

now last question.

How would i go about lining up the image in the middle. that scrolls with the website.

IS there a way to have exact pixels.

www.teamu0d.com is what i have so far.

its nothing at all except the one image and teh bg.

IS there a way to have exact pixels.

Very little, if anything, in the browser world can be EXACT and you really should not even try - you'll drive yourself looney.

Unless you have a background that can be repeated, you're not going to be able to "auto adjust" anything in CSS.

ok well does anyone have any ideas on how to setup my page, so when you scroll tot he top, the images line up perfectly like on

Its just something you need to play with until you get it right.

We do the same thing. Even for those of us who know css extremely well, (and I do not include myself in this group,) it takes time getting things to work correctly.

Very rarely do we just lay the page out and it works. It takes effort and sweat..

At first it takes 10 times longer. It is just part of the learning curve when you move into more complicated layouts. There is no magic bullet.

oh i understand.

I've been playing with it all night. till 6am last night.

My biggest problem is putting my content in the middle..

If i use a table it starts from the center and as i add more content it expands out. Not from top to bottom)

Also @ the top of the page, theres roughly a 1 inch gap that i cant seem to fix.
