While the proposed solutions above will work, please understand that if your image is not properly created or formatted itself, you are going to have heavy pixelating issues. &nbsp;<br />
I know you said you weren't versed in CSS or Jquery and that's fine. That's what we're here for. &nbsp;I personally use this one: <br />

It's great and resizes the image to the best of it's ability without pixelating. &nbsp;It also allows for cross browser compatibility and different resolutions. <br />

How do I stretch the background-image on my webpage, using HTML? <br />
<br />
Everything is written with HTML 4.01 (I'm a beginner, don't know any JavaScript or CSS yet).<br />
The image muliplies itself about 220 % horisonally and 20 % vertically now, but I want it stretched out 100 % so it covers the whole screen. Can I do this with simple HTML? Or do I have to use CSS? It's a jpg-image.

How do I stretch the background-image on my webpage, using HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
