Hi all, it’s been along time since i used CSS, but i am using again for a project, this is so basic, but can’t remember.

I have a background image that i want to stretch across the browser window, but none of the commands in Dreamweaver do what i want, here’s the code:

> margin: 0;  
> padding: 0;  
> font-family: arial, helvetica, geneva, verdana, sans-serif;  
> font-size: 62.5%;  
> color: #636363;  
> background: #fff url(…/images/beach-background.jpg) repeat; /\* Background wash \*/  
> text-align: justify;

It’s on repeat by default, if i choose center it puts the image in the center and repeats again behind???

This is an example of what i want to achieve - [http://www.bmstravel.com/](http://www.bmstravel.com/)

Any help much appreciated
