Bleeding layouts

[DeVere]

Here goes round 2...

We've all seen sites in flash that horizontally center the layout while the left and right edges bleed out under the edges of your browser. Usually these types of layouts are 1280 to 1600 wide to accomodate higher res settings. And resizing the window does NOT resize the swf.

My question: IS there a way to achive this in HTML? Can you horizontally center a layout while letting your background graphic (which as mentioned above would be at least 1280 wide) bleed to and UNDER the edges of the browser?

Tnanks!

Welcome to the forums, DeVere. How about this to start your css file:

body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-image: url(bgimage.jpg);
background-position: center;
}

Then write your centered layout mark-up into it's divs or tables - bgimage.jpg should fully fill the screen behind it.
