html background repeat, html background without css, background without css, background without stylesheet, html background, design without css,

Html code to install background in a html page without css or a style sheet.

It took me hours to find this solution and all the css lovers were saying it cannot be done. 

They are wrong, you can make a background copy sidewise or vertical in html without any css. I love the advantages of html without css, especially with Dreamweaver's html table templates. I have some css and Wordpress sites and I far prefer html and have obtained first page Google rankings with it.

Here is the html code;

Below the ending head tag put;

<BODY background="images/your-file.jpg" style="background-repeat: repeat-x;">

Or this code if you want a background color with the background tile

<body bgcolor="#006599" background="../images/bb-back.jpg" style="background-repeat: repeat-x;">

Example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>


<BODY background="images/bb-back.jpg" style="background-repeat: repeat-x;">


<table width="608" border="2" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FF0000">

The image on this page is 30 x 597 and repeated sideways.

Or see this web site with a larger background with a background color using the code above.
