Re: backgrounds (again)
I guess I know what you want to achieve.
The background tile is aligned by the left top corner of your page. So the background image has to start from there. The background to the left has to be the right end of your background image.
It's easier to show than to explain. See the attached example. :)

Re: backgrounds (again)
Heres how I want it to look, with the black bit representing my webpage.
Oh look you get a free stock graphic too!

Thanks again. I was on the verge of tearing out a bleeding clod of my hair and scalp.

Re: backgrounds (again)
As all things Xara, there's more than one way to skin a cat. I noticed that unlike Ross in either FF or IE the background never repeated, even if I dragged it across 2 19" monitors. The background image of the site you first mentioned can be viewed HERE
It would appear from the source file, that this background image is placed in table but I could be wrong, I'm rubbish at html.
Anyway here's my solution to the problem. It involves both a skyline layer and a linear graduation bitmap for the background.
|In the process I've messed up you MouseOff/MouseOver layers having grouped them, but you can easily delete them and paste in your originals if required.

Re: backgrounds (again)
A word of caution here Stuart. If your background is a stock image I don't you should be distributing it here. You've purchased the right to use it but not to distribute it freely to all visitors to this site.
Perhaps it would be prudent once your problem's been resolved, to remove the stock vector?

Re: backgrounds (again)
Thanks Egg. I really want the background to appear as in Covoxers file, but I guess I'll have to resort to yours (which looks great too) if I can't get it working.
Covoxers background was working when I previewed it in FF, but now its not working in IE or the Xara preview window. Why is this so difficult, and where am I going wrong?
