At least I think it is an interesting idea. When you use an image as wallpaper that is smaller than your screen size you have the option to tile the image or "stretch", scale, the image to fit the screen. I found what I think would make an interesting background for a page but got to wondering about how one could make sure the image would fill the window without tiling, repeating. The image would have to be scaled on the fly either larger or smaller to fit the window exactly. Is there some method that would make the image fit in the browser window without repeating or leaving white space around the image? -- "A good moral character is the first essential in a man."

Billie, I don't have an answer. No doubt some external scripting would be involved. The image though might need to be a .svg. There is some support for them but I don't know by what browers. I played with one recently and Opera supported it.

I had to do some research on that. On the surface it sounds promising but no IE other than IE9 supports it, and apparently none of the browsers I use daily do either. For it to be useful it needs to be something that works in all browsers. Seems kind of strange thinking about graphics as text files. Hard to wrap your head around.

Is that what you are looking for? If it is, a small bit of javascript can be used to scale the image. Barry
