Thanks...

The buttons are 4700 to 5100 bytes heavy in jpg...

Well, yes, but only if you manage to write the text and other contents
of each page so that they are the same length. I find it useful to have
some pages that have significantly more content than others. If you use
the same fixed length background on a longer page then the text would
start to write across the top of a second copy of the background tile.

Why?

<BODY STYLE="background-image: url('image.gif'); background-repeat:
no-repeat;">

Yes... I've done a (really good) background that just can repeat itself...
I've even tried to put my browser in 1024*768 and it works...

Maybe you can see by yourself ;-)

Well, yes, putting your text in a separate frame on plain white
background is *one* solution. It's a bit of a drastic change from what
you originally posted here.

I've put an example of what I was thinking of at

  http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/profd/

(Or there will be an example there, as soon as the web server refreshes
it. It shouldn't take long.)

Notice that this looks quite like what you originally posted (except I
had to use one of my own tiles in the background because I couldn't
extract a tileable one from your original image) but the various
components automatically adjust to sensible positions when the size of
the screen changes. Try un-maximising your browser window and adjusting
the size. Everything stays in the same relative position and things only
go wrong when the window is smaller than the width of the title image.
If there were more text, the bottom graphics would move down in the same
way.

It's all done with tables, rather than frames.

It is now gray.. Gray70 exactly...

Yes.. been there.. (it's very surprising to see my stuff on an other server.. :-))
But I've seen that the background was overwhelming all the page (it's too grey or
strange or..)
A plain gray is imho suffisant...

Yes yes... I haven't use a tile for the background, just plain pov-ray, normal with
bumps, and 6 light_sources..

Done that.. cool !.. Why am I unable to do this simple thing ?...
I've noticed that pictures don't exactly touch the edge of screen... I want that...

> It's all done with tables, rather than frames.
Why should people tell me that frames are bad ?... :-))

btw : last version of home page is uploaded, with extra stuff
(I'll post a screen-shot later here if you or someone are interested...)

.. and thanks a lot !...
