The second problem is this: on a page in Dreamweaver i put a black cell on the top of the site so i have the top of the page black...but in the preview the cell is NOT long enough...i mean, i still have a small area of white in the right!
How can i have my top of the page black from left to right?
Hope someone could help me :)
As for not getting the background to tile sites you have seen mostly add tables with background colors of white to hide the tiling.
You can change these defaults by using background-repeat: and background-position:
So,
<body style="background-image: (url:image.jpg);background-repeat: no-repeat;"> will begin your image at (0,0) and only render it once in each direction instead of tiling it over and over.
Other options for background-repeat: are repeat-x and repeat-y. And if you want the image to begin at some other set of coordinates than (0,0) you can specify that position by saying background-position:100px 200px; or whatever coordinates you need.
If I understand your second question properly, it can be resolved by placing a background-image or a background-color, rather than using a fixed width image. The browser will fill the background space for as far as it goes in each users window if you set the background-repeat: property the way you need to for your layout.
