the only way to make it fit every screen size is to have it tiled, and the image has to be a minimum of 1300 wide if it's a design, plain patterns can be 100x100.
If you want a design (a picture or something) the only way is to set it in the middle of the screen and either tile it in the background for added effect (use tables) or set the image in the center and use bgcolor for the extra space on big screens (CSS). you'd have to make your background image for 800x600 size if fixed and hope the smaller screen sizes dont mind and the bigger ones get it centered.

to just make it to where it doesn't tile.. in the body tag you can just add
I don't know about making that fit on every browser though.

bgproperties isn't a universal thing (wont work in all browsers), you can fix it with CSS which is a little more universal but if it's an image will be cut off in smaller screen sizes and will have blank areas in larger
<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me
"); } ?>

Nimrod, that's a really bad idea.
For instance, while my monitor is set to 1200x1000 something or other, my browser is currently somewhere between 800 and 900 wide and tall equally.
You just cannot determine what an end user is doing.
Post a link to the mockup and we can give you some better ideas on how to make it work across different sizes and resolutions.

to add to what Suzanne mentioned, some people have their tool bars on the side instead of top and bottom

How about innerHeight, innerWidth, ClientHeight and ClientWidth?

It's not worth writing a massive DOM hack to do this...As Suzanne said:
It would be a pain and you can guarantee it'll be easily broken - as all hacks are
It would be far easier to use CSS:
body {
background-image: url(bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Using JavaScript to read what the enduser has is fine, but the problem comes in when you try to match that with endless versions of your site.
