Layout Help, ... Options

Does anyone know the correct dimensions for the background image of a layout so that it doesn't begin to repeat itself?

do you mean putting a background image on a website that fills the entire screen without repeating? it's impossible to say, because everyone has different monitor sizes.

a safe resolution to use for large backgrounds is 1280x800, as that's what a lot of people have these days. basically, what you can do is put your image in the center of a file that size, then gradient fade the edges to a solid color. your code would look something like this:

CODE

body { background:#[HEX COLOR OF SOLID BACKGROUND] url(LINK TO IMAGE) top center no-repeat fixed; }
