| Difficult to judge the size... One person could have a window resized to
800*600, others at 1024*768 so how can you guess what *anyone* will be
viewing with.
Better to have a container (whether it is a table or a layer (div) and use
the graphic as a background image, otherwise, you will need to use a
repeating background image... which doesn't sound like it would apply in
this case. I have a few background image tutorials at the link in my sig -
which may or may not help :-) Maybe have a look at the watermark
tutorial....

| 600 x 800 pxls is regarded as safe.
you can use a style sheet to centre the background image and prevent it from scrolling.
hope this helps....

By who?
There's going to be plenty of people with a browser view-port smaller than
that and plenty with one larger than that.
There's nothing wrong with picking that size...just realize it's an
arbitrary size in the middle and no matter what size you choose, there's
going to be a lot of people outside the mean on both sides.

That's correct.

| No, css can style a lot more things than just the fonts.........
Have a look at the basics here: http://www.mako4css.com
also the tutorials at the last link in my sig... the MM site has a few good
articles.
As a newbie it is in your best interests to start reading all you can.
Learning basic HTML is *must* as well.

| You are misunderstanding.
If I create a page with *no* content, and then put a background image that
is 800x600 on the page, then that page will have no scrollbars at any
browser viewport dimension. If I put a background image that is
24,000x24,000, the page will still have no scrollbars.
If I put a table on the page that is 600px wide. The browser will drop a
horizontal scrollbar when the viewport is contracted to less than 600px in
width.
It's not background images that trigger scrollbars - they cannot. It's
content.

| Hi Murray,
I c. So its not the bg image that's creating the scrollbar, its the tables?

| Murray *TMM* 2004-08-04, 7:15 pm |
| That's the size of it. A background image can never cause a page to drop a
scrollbar.
