Another background question - is there anyway to stretch an image over a background? this would really help reduce my file sizes for the poor people on dial-up 
anything else you can mess around with backgrounds? what can you put in the bgproperties field other than 'still'?

Nope. It's coming with CSS3, which means it will be about 4 years before a sensible number of people have browsers that support it.
Your best bet is to do some positioning. Try googling
CSS z-index "position:absolute"
and see what you get. You should be able to make an image tag stretch to the right size and then place the content over the top.
It's a round-about way of doing things, and there are some situations that it just won't work in, but as far as I know, it's the only way with html/CSS2
Hope this helps.

The biggest problem is that the image will go all grainy.
bugger all you can do with backgrounds. Tile them, have them fixed or moving with the page. Thats about it. Multiple overlapping backgrounds can do some fancy stuff, but on their own, it's all pretty dull
