Right justify background image in FP98?

[Duncanjp]

I want to place a tall background image that is flush right on my webpage and
doesn't tile across the page. After running a search on backgrounds and
tiling and reading numerous related threads here, I still haven't quite found
(or understood) the answer that I'm looking for.

I don't want my background tiled. So in Photoshop, I took my image (of a
person) and added blank canvas to the left side of the image. Now when I
place it on my webpage as a background, it takes up enough space to not
appear tiled and my text runs over the white space on the left 2/3 of the
page while the image stays stationary. That's exactly what I want.

However, depending on whose computer views the page, substantial portions of
the right edge of the person in the image get chopped off, as if the
background is centered. How do I right justify my background image so that
any computer will view the entire right side of the image? (And let the white
space bleed off to the left into the sunset.) I've experimented with the
canvas size of the image but with inconsistent results. BTW, I don't want to
reduce the actual image size, since this results in a measure of distortion
that I don't like.

Perhaps I'm going about this all wrong and need to place only the image
itself to the right of the page with no added canvas to the left, just white
background color, but I can't figure out how to right justify the background
image to do this. I'm using FP98, which I realize is older. But it's all I've
got at the moment.

Thank you kindly in advance for any and all suggestions. I greatly
appreciate all those who donate their time and knowledge to help people like
myself.

Use CSS -

body { background-image:url(foo.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top right; }

But remember, if your background image is 800px wide, and my browser
viewport is only 500 px wide, the image will be truncated. There is nothing
you can do about this other than to plan better and not use such a large
image....

Why does it have to be a background?

1. Place the image on a page, and in picture properties select Wrapping
Style *right*. Or

2. Put it in a right shared border.

Wow, you guys are awesome!! Thank you very much for taking the time to offer
me three cool ideas to work with, Murray, Rob and Wes. I will work with all
three and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again!

To the right is infinity.

I'm not quite sure you could do this with bg image. It'd be easier if you
used a table to hold your right image...either fixed width table, or if
you're good with math, a collapsing table design.

You want to design for a 750px width that will allow viewers with res set at
800-600 to see without scrolling left right.
