Re: Simple Questions for Newbie (Background Page Image)

Rick,

What you have so far looks fine, but you have no content in your page. 
Open the page again with Amaya and type several short paragraphs of 
text. You will see that the background image is indeed displayed, but 
only as far down the page as you have other content to display. This 
differs from other browsers. Other browsers will display the background 
image in the browser window even when there is no other content to 
display. If the background image is repeated, other browsers will fill 
the browser window with the repeated background image. Amaya will not. 
This is probably a rendering bug in Amaya.

I use Amaya to author my pages, but always preview them in several other 
browsers to see what they will really look like. I often find rendering 
differences, even between other browsers. I try to only use features 
that work consistently in most popular browsers. The rendering in Amaya 
is usually "pretty good" (and getting better all the time), but don't 
assume that is exactly how other browsers will render your page.
