There is a code which uses layers so that you can put images ontop of each other and stuff like that, but you MUST be using Netscape Navigator for it.

nope :( that didn't work, must be something wrong with my html, but it hasn't changed the page.
I can't make it into one image, then i'd need to use layers to put the page content over, and I don't want to do that.
My only problem is the images on the right, if you view the screen with anything less than 1024x768 they look too small, and if your screens bigger, they repeat.
The top image isn't important.

Okay, this is the best suggestion I can think of at the minute, but I might come back later if I find another one.

In-between the BODY and /BODY tags, put the following code. I'll even put the BODY tags in to make it easier:

Couldn't really tell from that second page what you were trying to do, the first url didn't work for me.

I'd suggest combining the images into one .whatever file, then using a css, or just adding empty space around the part of the image you want to be shown so that the image is bigger than the table cell, and not all is displayed (like using a 1x1200 bg image to make a colored side bar down a page).
Problem would be that if you didn't want the image located in the top left (where the image would be tiled from), you'd have to line it up where you wanted it on the file, with empty space all around it, then control the pixel size of the cell to stop brpwsers/screen sizes/stuff messing it up, which could be a problem if you wanted text in the cell, as you don't know which size setting the viewer would be using.

Hmm, i hope that was at least clear what i meant, maybe even helpful ; )
Hey, i'm not expert myself, but that's how i'd approach it.

I couldn't see whatever it was in the link you were trying to show us, I just got a holding page from easyspace or some thing...

however you could do it as a style...

BODY {
background-image: url(images/a-background.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

I think there is a specific command you can put in the tag, put I haven't used it for so long I can't remember it.
