Can I make a page background only go once down or across the page?

I have a framed page.
In the top frame is our logo and some text in a graphic which I have inserted in that area.
The problem is that I need some navigation buttons up there too and if I try to insert additional graphics (fancy looking buttons) I disrupt the setting of the other graphic.
I tried adding a java menu up there but it scews the image too.
I thought about putting the logo graphic as a background and then be able to add addional graphics on top of it. This might work but the logo graphic is put accross the top multiple times (as backgrounds will do if they don't quite fit)
Any thoughts on my problem and how I can fix this to do what I need?

You can use the CSS no-repeat attribute on your background image in the top frame:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

Thanks,

...this is the full list:

background-repeat: repeat
The image is repeated both horizontally and vertically.

background-repeat: repeat-x
The image is repeated horizontally only.

background-repeat: repeat-y
The image is repeated vertically only.

background-repeat: no-repeat
The image is not repeated: only one copy of the image is drawn.

I have tried to put you code into the frame html on my page with no luck.
Not too swift with HTML ediiting.
Sorta rely on FrontPage to do most of that.
Is there a FP setting on the graphic or frame that will do the same thing?

If you can post the code form the top frame, I can edit it here for you...

Sorry...with the Background image it is:

<html>

<head>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var ace_path = '';
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="acemenu_loader.js">
</script>

<script language="JavaScript" src="nav_temp.js">

In FP:

With the top frame open in Page View.

Format > Style.
Scroll to the body tag, select it, and click Modify.
On the Modify Format Dialog Box:
Click Format > Border and select the Shading Tab.
Under Patterns, browse to your logo image as the Background Picture.
Use the Repeat drop-down and select no-repeat. Click Okay.
