Web design & hosting forum: how do u make web page background fit any screen resolution?

you would go about it in different ways.

If the background was a pattern, you would assign it to the body and have it repeat x and y.

If the background is a fixed image (800x600), then you would probably want to center the image in the body. Having a picture that big is not recommended as it will take too long to load.

If you need a flexible background, I would create a background that can be easily repeated on the x-axis. That way it will extend as large as the screen resolution of the browser. Gradients work nice as repeating backgrounds.

Now, ideally, your page background/design is composed of several layers. You may have a repeating gradient in the background, but then some designs on top of that, and the actual page layout/design on top of that.

About your scrolling problem, my guess is that your image isn't in the background but simply included on the page.

a widescreen laptop, however if their resolution is lower than yours, the background will be cut off. The only way to remedy this is to make a smaller background image that fits his resolution and then have the Web site detect what resolution you are running and then show the appropriate background image / load the appropriate style sheet.
