I'm doing my web site, and since I'm beginner at this, I'm not giving that much attention to the code (which I'll be doing as soon as I get some time), but I have some help with that, so it runs pretty much fine, except this one little problem to which I can't find answer in help files, as well on the net.
The thing is that my background image is 1024x768, and web site looks good on that res, but if I go to e.g. 1280x1024 (or on some wide-screen monitor) the image is repeating itself to cover up the space. The problem is, at least I think it is, that I've done everything in absolute instead of relative values.
Is there some way to fix this? I tried to look at the code, and the Dreamwiever gives the code automatically when you want to write it, but so far I haven't find anything useful (for the background that is). And is there some easy way to convert absolute into relative values or do I have to do it manually also?

In the css (stylesheet) part, look up where the background image is located at. If it says background-image: url(blablabla.jpg); add underneath it background-repeat: none;

Yeah, but that just leaves a blank part on the page. I want to see the picture fit the screen like tables and other div tags...

I realized that, after a while... Found somewhere that only in opera or safari you can see stretched background... well nothing then, I guess I'll have to make title: best viewed in 1024x768 or sth like that...

Nice plugin, ty for the heads up.

@ dingo_d

Dreamweaver is always great but I nonetheless recommend you Topstyle for CSS editing and checking the compliance of your code.

I have a problem, doing a site based on a tutorial, and so far not bad, but I have problem wit rounding the corners. I have main div inside a big wrapper, and a right column inside main, it looks like this:

You obviously see what the problem is Rolling Eyes I'm doing everything like in the tutorial, but it's not working, I would like if anyone with enough knowledge of html and CSS could help me. Here's the main code:

And here's CSS:

the corners are images
you can't do round shapes in plain layout

This will either need javascript or use border-radius (CSS3) which isn't supported yet by most -if any- browsers. Rather give a look at that example :

You could also try Nifty Cube! http://www.html.it/articoli/niftycube/index.html

It doesn't need images to create round corners, just css + javascript.

After trying to make these round corners work the only result I got was:FAIL! Laughing So I'm going to give it a rest, I was making this site just because I was bored and wanted to learn sth new. I realize I have a lot of learning ahead of me Smile I'll probably try to make it work as soon as it won't affect my university studies (been playing around with web too much), that is as soon as I'll have extra free time on my hands. Thnx guys for giving me some directions, I really appreciate it.
