I went through the tutorials and still could not find an answer to my question. All I want to do is use a background tile for the body. I know where to change it in the .css file, but I've tried all combinations and cannot get any code to work. I know I'm a helpless newbie. Could someone point me to the right part of the tutorial or help me please.

Here is the original code

body {
     padding: 0;
     background-color: #000000;
     font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
     font-size: 12px;
     margin-top: 5px;
     margin-left: 0;
     margin-right: 0;
     padding-top: 0;
     padding-left: 0;
     padding-right: 0;

Want to change to something like this...

body {
     padding: 0;
     background-color: http://myserver.com/folder/muchbetterthankyou.gif;
     font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
     font-size: 12px;
     margin-top: 5px;
     margin-left: 0;
     margin-right: 0;
     padding-top: 0;
     padding-left: 0;
     padding-right: 0;

He would most likely need to use the absolute url path to the image.
