Background Picture Size

[Devin]

I want to add a background picture to my page. I want to know what the pixel
size is for most browsers so that the picture doesn't duplicate itself around
the borders. This way I can just change the pixel size of my image to fit the
browsers. Thanks in advance.

This is like trying to nail jelly to the wall. You'll never get it the
right size for the infinity of browser widths and heights out there.

Instead, just use CSS to prevent the image from tiling -

body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }

There is a trick to nailing jelly to the wall - actually it works for Jello
but it may work for jelly as well.

Freeze the wall and the jelly?

nah, just have to age it for a few months till it turns to rubber.
