How to center a background image?

[Unknown Man]

Hi guys,

I set my background image centered, after I save and preview it, it looks great but as soon as I try resizing the window, the image stays fixed and won't stay in the center while the rest of the content stays centered.

I guess my question is, is there any way at all to make my background image always stay centered on any screen size?

If so, please explain how. A step by step would really be appreciated since I'm real nice and not so good with coding.


Thanks

What code are you using to centre it?

Can you show me an example of what you have so far?

Well, if you're using css to center it.. the best way would be to use this code in the body section of your css

background-image: url(YOURIMAGEHERE);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;

This is a very frequent question, with several unsuspected permutations depending on different people's usages and such. It might be worth it for the forum managers to consider a sticky thread with a compilation of solutions.
