Does anyone know the correct dimensions for the background image of a layout so that it doesn't begin to repeat itself?
synatribe
there is none because as you add content its bound to repeat itself, unless you make a pattern

^look above. :]

however, you should know that you can stop the image from repeating (and you can position it) through your CSS.

CODE
background-image: url(linkage);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: whatever;}


replace "whatever" with one of the following:
top left
top center
top right
center left
center center
center right
bottom left
bottom center
bottom right

not that if you only enter one keyword, the second word will automatically be center, although most of the time this doesn't matter. :]

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; }

^ What exactly do you need help with? Is it a Myspace issue, because then you would want to post in the Myspace Support Forum.

But make sure that you read the pinned topics first:
