In big lines: Normally, if the background-image is a background image in the body, it is always displayed acros the screen, whatever little text there is. If the bg-img is put in a <div>-container for "page-content" (with the text in it), you can give that box the width and height of your image. See testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/bg-fig.htm>. But the height can be tricky - the container has to stretch when there is much text, or when the visitor is enlarging the font-size. With a min-height you can enable not-IE browsers to stretch the container in case there is too much text. And then you have the choice to repeat the bg-img vertically, or just give a background color for the part of the text "under" the image. But maybe you have a design that is not that simple. Then you can post some more information, with a link to a testpage, so we can see what it is about.
