Background Image
Hey everybody. You know how on your desktop you can stretch an image accross your entire screen instead of tiling it? Well, I wanted to do that with an image for my background. Is there a way to do that with DHTML or something like that?

first thought was to get the screen size and dynamically write the image tag with those sizes as variables, but obviously the image would blow out and be warped etc. (unless it was of the same dimensions, but at a different ratio etc - like 50 x 50, being stretched to 100 x 100)
Anyway, there are server side image apps that will create dynamic images (sizes) they are majoritively for thumbnails, but who am I to say that you couldn;t increase the size as well as decrease it.
