Background color outside the main body

[pepierce]

If I have a page designed for 1024x768 and it is viewed on a wider screen/higher relsolution etc. How can I change the background screen color outside the main body of the page?

Lets say the main body of my designed page is white, but I wanted the extra space on someones monitor to be a gray color. Is that possible? If so, where do I tell it to be gray?

Hopefully this makes since.

Thanks.... Paul

create a white bg image and make it 1024 wide and 10 pixel high will do, because it repeats to any height

set the body bg color to gray

I forgot to mention that you need to set the bg image to center and repeat in Y direction

Errr, you don't need to use images as you can control all the colour settings via CSS.

Also this tutorial of Mikes will help you achieve the same result.

I was speaking for myself, because I usually don't have a plain bg image, it may have graduation or graduated borders on left and right
