how do you make your background image automatically resize itself to fit any screen

hello

i am creating a website for both my school assignment and to really upload.

could someone help me with the following question, please?

how do you make your background image automatically resize itself to fit any screen without having extra scrollbars and having the image stay fixed and the words just move?

any help would be appreciated.

how do you make your background image automatically resize itself to fit any screen without having extra scrollbars

not at all (afaik), although you might use a repeating pattern or an image, that blends into background.

… and background images do not cause scrollbars.

alternatively, instead of using the CSS background, you can make a real image as a kind of background, although it may break the layout or provide other trouble.

and having the image stay fixed and the words just move?

CSS backgrounds

background-position: fixed;

HTML Elements

position: fixed;

(not (partly?) implemented in IE)

to the CSS declaration of the element, that holds the background-image (theoretically you can add it everywhere, beside that’s making no sense at all)

i don't understand so do i add it in the body... or the head... or where?
