Centering vertically and horizontally is difficult to do, but can be done with CSS. Are you using CSS on your site?

You could also make a table I suppose and to a <td valign="center"><center>picname.jpg code here</center></td>

Something like that...

I'd say: remake your background in PhotoShop and place it centered ..
Easiest and you're always sure about it.

I'd say: remake your background in PhotoShop and place it centered ..Er, who says s/he has Photoshop? That's some expensive software. Besides, it won't stay centred if the user's screen resolution (or window size) is something other than that for which s/he created the image.

Hi there dezii1,

are you in Time Warp. ;)

There is a fourteen month time span between your original post and your second. :eek:
