how do you use an image for your website background using HTML codes?

Im creating a webpage on Notepad using HTML codes and I want to use an image as the background. what is the code for it <?> and is there an ending tag? </?> its not working. the background i want to use is off a website called entheosweb.com and its a free background that you can use for your site. i put in <body background="http://www.entheosweb.com/images/design/bg/bg_12.htm"> and then my closing tag is </body> at the end of my body. Why isnt it working

  1. <body background="file:///[filepath]"> </body> use http://www.entheosweb.com/images/design/bg/bg_12.gif as the filepath
  2. <body background="path/filename.ext"> </body> where background is the tag attribute for placing a background image path is the location of the file, either absolute or relative filename is the file's name extension is the indicator for the type of file like GIF, JPG, etc This will tile a sufficiently small graphic across the background in a horizontal/vertical grid.
  3. <body background="source"></body>
  4. <body background="Drive\Filepath" No there is no ending tag(it is a container tag)
  5. Why isn't it working... to me it's obvious. You're linking to a page, not to an image. Images end with .jpg, .gif, .png
