backgrounds in diff resolutions

[Blordow]

I'm trying to make a background for a new layout I'm making and it looks fine and fits great in 1024 by 768 resolution, but when I test it in higher resolutions it goes all gay and doesn't match up properly. The background also starts repeating itself again from where it cuts off, making it look stupid.

I noticed NG's background works on all resolutions yet it has the same width values as my background. What kind of coding do they use?

Someone help me please! :(

I presume the http://img.ngfiles.com/headerbg.jpg is in a wrapper DIV which goes around the main Content part, and at a wider resolution, it adds a new color?

Making a BG specific to a resolution is a bad idea....

If you don't want it to repeat, put background-repeat: no-repeat; in your css

A background image with background-position: top center; in a div set to 100% width will work, as the wider the browser the more background will be displayed.
