Hi!
Thanks that was what I was after! Yes, the background of my webpage.
I tried:
style
       ^ 'body { background-image: url(C:\....\...\background.jpg) } '
and:
style
       ^ 'body { background-image: url(C:\....\...\background.gif) } '
and:
style
       ^ 'body { background-image: anImageForm } '

but neither of them worked.
What am I doing wrong or isn't it working?
Many thanks in advance!
Marcus
