Judy, It would look better if you had your pictures on the left and right side of the screen, rather than as a complete background - that way they would not repeat. The html for this is contained in the head section and the css as follows: body { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-style:italic; margin: 0; padding: 0; color: #ffffff; background-image: url('sy_john_westfieldb.jpg'), url('sy_john_westfieldb.jpg'); background-position: calc((100vw - 860px) / 2 - (150px + 8px)) 0px, calc((100vw - 860px) / 2 + (860px - 8px)) 0px; background-repeat: repeat-y; background-color: #8b99b4; } see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sussexgenealogy.html Valerie On 16 February 2016 at 01:15, JFlorian via <[email protected]> wrote: > Here is the css (looks messy online, sorry) > http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/test_with_feb-09-2016.css > > Here is the page: > > http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/test_with_feb-09-2016_css-new.htm > > > > First, W3 does not like these 2 together in the CSS (see below). > background-repeat: repeat; > background-position: fixed; > > Am I supposed to have both? > > > Second, I've been searching for the # pixels or percents to use for page > layouts with double or triple borders.
