My ancient HTML knowledge says to use a body tag like this:
<body background="images/back.gif"> But there might be another way with these newfangled CSS and whatnot the punks are talking about today.

The default is for a background to repeat (tile) both horizontally and vertically using Dr.G's method. If you want it to do something else then you will have to use CSS. Here is how to do that.
In the head section of the page. <style> body.back { background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(/images/image_name.jpg); background-position : bottom; (center, top, etc.) background-repeat : no-repeat; (repeat-x, repeat-y) } </style> <body class="back"> or you can use it within table cells(TD) like so: <style> .back { background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(/images/image_name.jpg); background-position : bottom; (center, top, etc.) background-repeat : no-repeat; (repeat-x, repeat-y) } </style> <td class="back"> repeat-x and y or for vertical and horizontal repeats only. No repeat only presents the image once.

You can also make an external stylesheet which is generally preferable since you don't have to change every page if you use the style tags. You can also download the free TopStyle Light that will help you a bit with css.
