You can also set the background position & whether or not it scrolls. I think there is a bug in Netscape where the image has to be in the same folder as the stylesheet or the "no-repeat" part doesn't work (or something like that). Here's a link to the Cascading Style Sheets specification file: CSS1.
Can I put the image in a table and then put the table in the background? Say use percentages to to make the table fit the whole screen and center the image within the one cell and fix it so it wont scroll at all? My main problem right now is how my bg image is tiled on higher resolutions so im trying to fix that.
Well, that certainly works, however only for IE. If you want a similar effect you may be able to use DHMTL, however this is generally one of those 'really sucky' tricks, as it makes the text harder to read for a lot of people.

Hi: You should be able to do that with a stylesheet. I think this is the syntax (this goes between the <head>...</head> tags:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {background-image: yourimage;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
-->
</style>

The following is a DHTML script that centers, prevents tiling, and finally, watermarks the background image of your page in IE 4+: http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/fixback.htm
