centred background image

[captain creative]

Hello all,
I have a background image (gif image) set in a page (using D/weaver MX 2004). I have turned off the repeat image function. but it is aligning itself to the left of the page when previewed in IE6, despite the fact that I have typed in 'centre' in the 'background centre' box of the tag inspector panel. How do I get the background image to be PERFECTLY centred on the page?
the page is 1058x710 in size and the gif background image is 900x750 if that helps. the background image is perfect size when previewed, it's just in the wrong place!

any ideas greatly received.

can you post the CSS script you are using to position the image?

Hi, I'm new to CSS so I hope this is it!

</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(cc-menu4.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-position: centre centre;
}
body,td,th {
font-family: Century Gothic;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: centre centre;
}
.style5 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
.style2 {
font-size: small;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: "Century Gothic";
overflow: scroll;
}
.style3 {font-size: large;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: "Century Gothic";
}
.style4 {font-family: "Century Gothic"}
a:link {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #999999;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF00FF;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #999999;
}
.style6 {font-size: x-large}
-->
</style>
