CSS background center? HELP

Hi, im a realy newbie in CSS...

Can anyone tell me how i can center my background image horizontally, while keeping the background at the very top.

I have tried the background-position: center command but that puts the background in the center of the page which is not what im trying to do...


thanks for your help!

yeah sorry, i got caught up in the moment lol!

Anyway this is how i did it:


body {
background-image: url('http://BLAH BLAH');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;
font-size: 11px
}


That was the code in my CSS file and the background was at the top left of the screen. So by simply adding this line to the code:

background-position: center 70;

you can see the it centralises the background horizontally on the page. Then the number 70 puts the backgroundimage 70 pixels down from the top.

Really hope this helps someone!
