Hi,
I want to know how to insert a background image so that it is only inserted once and does not repeat itself, I tried the following but it does'nt work:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="back.jpg" style="background-repeat=no-repeat;background-attachment=fixed">

thanks

The proper CSS syntax separates properties and values with a ":". You used an "=". Replace the "=" with ":".
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="back.jpg" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;background-attachment: fixed">
If that does not work, then use:
<body style="background: url('back.jpg') #FFFFFF; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed">

I thought the correct phrasing was 'background-repeat: no'

Not correct?

Value: repeat | repeat-x | repeat-y | no-repeat
Initial: repeat
