repeating background image issues

[Lilit Xellora]

ok...Hi :) alright I am the biggest NOOB when it comes to HTML so i need step by step easy instructions to follow ok? anyway here's my problem I woke up one day and decided HEY! i want a website! so on to the internet i went unknowingly getting myself into the most confusing thing ever -.- i am in the process of creating a website on lycos.com sure youve heard of it anyway...as I add content the background image begins to repeat itself...I made a boo boo by clicking the easy editor so it uploads the pictures for me...now theres a tool that says this ::

Enter or paste HTML in the text box. You will see the results of your HTML code on the page where you inserted it after you click Done.
Note: This Site Add-On is for advanced users who are familiar with HTML. Incorrectly formatted HTML or JavaScript could corrupt your page, and may require you to re-create the entire page.

If you are unsure about the quality of the code you are about to insert, create a new page and try it there. That way if the code is incorrectly formatted and results in the page being uneditable, you can just delete the entire page.

now what i want to do is to make the bg image STOP REPEATING! but ive searched the net and i cant seem to do anything ive tried putting this code in there:

<style type="text/css">
body{background-image:url("http://example.lv/f/uploads/20040613_768_pix_wallpaper_anime_074.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;}
table, tr, td {
background-color:transparent;
border: 0px;
padding:2;
}
</style>

but its not working nothing comes up...if theres ANYONE who has used lycos before or knows what i can do please please help me :(

the css looks ok. I got a warning that there was something wrong with the image and it couldn't be displayed, then I refreshed it displayed fine. Not sure if that's something going on with your server or if you reuploaded the image.

Try using shorthand and see if that helps

background: url('http://example.lv/f/uploads/20040613_768_pix_wallpaper_anime_074.jpgf') no-repeat fixed center;

to see if that helps. I would consider getting rid of the transparent as well.
