1. i have a few questions: regarding ['the under the skin techniques' of a website (computer coding). where should i place the background image ?
2. also where can i find specific info or tutorial's regarding where to place the background or my own them using html editor SE 2010 ?
3. also what should the default website size be ? i.e. 800 x 600 ?
i also utilize Dreamweaver CS3, which allows me to choose almost any pic and make that my backgound/theme.
So how can this be done using html editor ?
lastly, in html editor SE 2010, when ever i save a newly created document or existing one using "save as,' my document is now duplicated a few times over and when published to it, it shows 2, 3, 4 of the same info, graphics etc., on the same page. what i have to do to correct it is to go-to coding and delete everything there extra, then save. sometimes it works but not always. i paid $100 already between html editor, ftpdirect etc., how can this problem be resolved ?
p.s. Travis Wyatt never gave me a clear answer and didn't respond to my last string of questions up to this day (July 29, 2010). when i need answers CoffeCup agents just sends us to forums or youtube.
So Scott i'm hoping that u can help me.
thanks.

1. In general backgrounds for an entire page can be attached to the HTML tag or the BODY tag using a few different techniques,
<html class="background">
or
<body class="background">
and having
.background {}
in a css file (linked to your page with <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> or in between <style></style> tags in the head of the page.
then define you background parameters between the {} in the css
like
{height: 500px; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #91918F 0%, #fff 100%); background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#91918F), to(#fff)); background-repeat:repeat-x;}
will give you a gradient background
{background-image:url('../images/question.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; }
will put a picture at the top left corner of your background.
my personal favorite is using an external CSS file that is linked to the webpage
<html class="background">
or
<body class="background">
and having
.background {}
in a css file (linked to your page with <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> or in between <style></style> tags in the head of the page.
then define you background parameters between the {} in the css
like
{height: 500px; background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #91918F 0%, #fff 100%); background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#91918F), to(#fff)); background-repeat:repeat-x;}
will give you a gradient background
{background-image:url('../images/question.png'); background-repeat:no-repeat; }
will put a picture at the top left corner of your background.

3. there really is no default website size per se, but 960px wide with no limit on height seems to be very popular

as for your last item, I would suggest opening a support ticket as something is happening on your system that is not happening on mine.
