I have an eBay template and I want to change the background. This is the code:

code:


#mainpage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #a8b5b2;
background: #121e1b url(C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Roaming\Listing Factory 2011\Workspace\Template\55063\templatemo_main_bg.png) repeat;



When I change the file location to the image I want, it just tiles the wallpaper across the page, if I change repeat to no-repeat it just puts the image really small in the top left corner.

Any ideas?

Like this:

code:



#mainpage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #a8b5b2;
background: #121e1b url(C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Roaming\Listing Factory 2011\Workspace\Template\16155\Temp698777888.jpg) no-repeat;
background-size:cover;




As that didnt work, this is what I've got:



See how the image is tiny in the corner...

Yup, use CSS3 background cover.
code:

#mainpage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #a8b5b2;

background: url("C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Roaming\Listing Factory 2011\Workspace\Template\16155\Temp698777888.jpg");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;




Also i'd check it in a few browsers outside of Listing Factory.

As Ed said you havent told us what you want the background to do?

if you want it repeated X & Y then just put

background: url("C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Roaming\Listing Factory 2011\Workspace\Template\16155\Temp698777888.jpg") repeat;

and remove background-repeat: no-repeat;

The default value repeats horizontally and vertically If this doesn't work, then there's something else wrong with your page?

You're right, I want to 'stretch' the one image I have rather than tile lots of little images.

Sorted it, this was it, I just resized the image using imageshack to 1024x768, not sure what that will look like on other sized screens though...
