Deprecated in favor of CSS:
body {background-image:url(images/bkgrnds/shot02.JPG);}
a:link {color:#ff00ff;}
a:visited {color:#00ff00;}
a:active {color:#00ffff;}
However, please note that a background color should ALWAYS be included
when a color is defined. This is especially true because you, as an
author, do not know what color the user's window background is. For
example, my background color is pale blue, and white elements show up
like sore thumbs when I know the author intended everything to blend in
nicely.

That is not possible right now. CSS3 proposes the background-size
property, but since some popular browsers don't even get CSS2 correctly
now, don't look for CSS3 for quite some time.

You can tile the image, or position it, and use a complimentary
background color to fill in the remaining space.
