centering background image

can somebody explain how i can center an image, say 640 pixels by 480 pixels,
on a page, but centered both top to bottom and left to right. or how can i
make an image my background, BUT WITHOUT having it extend a few times over.
like if i have a page that is 640 by 480, and an image that is 640 by 480, how
can i make it my background and keeping it to show only once , even if the
viewers browser is bigger? thanks

Think with CSS it will work

That's a problem for cross browser rendering. Depending on the browser
and whether the page is rendered in standards mode or quirks mode, the
background image may be centered vertically in the browser viewport or
in the page content. If the content doesn't exactly fill the browser
windows, you will get differing results in different browsers.

The major browsers (at least on the Windows platform) are pretty
consistent about rendering the background image in the center of the
browser viewport if you use background-attachment: fixed in addition to
the above.
