I dont think its actualy possible with just html but i know that you can do it with javascript. i found it on a site once where you just needed to change the url to the image in this code. Its a code that would resize according to the size of the window. but plain html? dont think so.

Background images are just like normal images in HTML documents, you can't set them to resize to whatever the user has.

You could use some PHP GD functions with some browser sniffing to resize the image before sending it to the client. What you'd have to do is this:

When the user comes to your page, check what resolution they are using.
Have a PHP function that resizes your background image to the resolution
Set the generated image as background image
Send all data to the user.

I am assuming you have some high-resolution image that scales down very well, because most resizing doesn't work very well when there are big changes. I am also assuming your background image doesn't work when you put the image side-to-side, repeating both left-to-right and up-to-down, if that works all you have to do is add

CODE

body {
background-image: url(your-background.image);
background-repeat: repeat;
}

No, its not possible, however you are right, it does work in JavaScript, if you require the script then:

CODE

var jswidth = screen.width;
if (jswidth==800) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:63%;'>");
else if (jswidth==1024) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:72%;'>");
else if (jswidth==1152) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:75%;'>");
else if (jswidth==1280) document.write("<div class='main' style='width:77%;'>");
else document.write("<div class='main' style='width:63%;'>");

Name that file homepage.js for your convienience. Link to this file by using

CODE

right before your main content in the homepage. Then make this file:

CODE

document.write("</div>");

Name it divclose.js. Place the following code after your content:

CODE

This is untested, but I am almost positive it would work.

Uhm, what good would that script be? It makes a div which is somewhat smaller than the screen it is viewed in. And depending on the contents of the div you might get a clipped or crunched image inside it...
