Fairly simple background/HTML question

[Salerno]

I'd like to get an image into the background of HFS but I need to image to be repeated as it is rather long vertically. However, because I have limited coding experience, I cannot figure out how to do this in HTML. Although I've tried quite a few searches through google I can't seem to find something that works the way I want it, let alone get the image to repeat across the entire background. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could assist me with how to code this. Thanks.

i would use CSS
style='background-repeat:repeat-y'

or something similar

Thankyou! I appreciate you telling me that. I was able to find a perfect example (because you told me to use CSS) at this website:

and using the code:

body { background-image: url(insert here); }

Does HFS support Opacity, and generally what would the code look like?

[rejetto]

what's the opacity you are talking about?

Something like this:

it has nothing to do with the server.
it's only up to the web browser.

After fooling around a bit I was able to get opacity working using the code line:

td { font-size:10pt; background:#FFF; filter:alpha(opacity=50);opacity:.50; border:2px solid #123}
