Background Image
Images are not only placed within text. Thanks to the <BODY> tag and its BACKGROUND attribute, they can also appear as a page background.
Example:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINF="#0000FF" VLINK="#000080" BACKGROUND="background.gif">
The background.gif image is used as a pattern, displayed repetitively in the background (referred to as tiling). If it cannot be found, the specified or default colour will be displayed as the background.
