Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

it does not stretch your image..

You just place the .container on top of the background image, and since you have background-color:white on the container, the image at the body does not get displayed..

tell us what you want to do exactly and we can help more ..

But the repeated background image will be visible outside the container.

@Gert, The container is rather large, and most likely hides most of the backgorund.. i think that is why he believes the image gets stretched.. because he only sees a small part of it ..

Might be. I'm using 1280x1024, so for me, the image showed.

Answer 2

A:

Some of your HTML may be helpful. In this example, the image appeared correctly. (I made an image using the same name.)

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            body
            {
                margin: 0px;
                padding:0 px;
                text-align: center;
                background-image: url(jute_for_web1.jpg) ;
                background-repeat: repeat-x;
                font: 11px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
                border-top:0px;
                height:100%;
                width:100%;
            }
            div.container
            {
                text-align: left;
                border-color: Black;
                border-width: 0px;
                border-style: solid;
                width: 1000px;
                height: 768px;
                margin: 5px auto;
                background-color:White;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="container">
            Hello World!
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

You should add this "answer" to your question, or as a comment somewhere, since it's not technically an answer. But for something quick and easy, try imageshack.us
