I'd still say 'use CSS'. It's better to learn it to the PROPER way than to stick with outdated methods. edit: only understood now that you were talking about the actualy <body> background. In that case, use something like this in your CSS sheet or style definition. That way you can simply use <body> without any class attributes and the image will show.

umm, CSS sheets are kinda advanced, you sound like you need/want a simpler solution. Open the page you want to have a background in DW at the bottom of DreamWeaver you will see "Page Properties" in there is a browse button next to a field called "Background Image" you should move your pic into a sub-folder under the folder that DW had you create for your site, this way when you upload DW has a better way to move your pic _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

use CSS! <style> .yourStyle {background-image: url('yourimage.jpg');} </style> <div class="yourStyle">text to appear over image</div> |
