Body Backgrounds in css

#1

If I have a style sheet, i cannot do <body background="myimage.jpg">
in my html body tag.

When trying to assign an image to the body background in my style
sheet, {background: myimage.jpg; } doesnt work.

Well you can do both, the CSS should be preferred in a capable
browser and then it will fall back to the HTML suggestion.

You are missing something. A complete line might be:

body {background: #000 url(myimage.jpg);}

Check a CSS reference for other stuff you can do. Perhaps here:
