Background Page

Cascading Style Sheets is the best way of setting the background properties in your HTML page. It is more flexible than the (outdated) HTML method. Using CSS, you can set the background properties of any HTML element. Plus you can do things like, specify an image's position, whether it should repeat, how it should repeat etc.

Let’s look at 4 different solutions for full page background images, starting with a CSS-only solution and moving into a few different jQuery-powered solutions. All of these solutions are free, well-documented and relatively easy to implement, too!
