The BODY tag in an HTML file accepts two attributes designed to let you get away from the boring gray default color. Almost all of you have used the first of these tags, BGCOLOR. This tag lets you change from the solid gray background to any other solid color.
As an alternative to BGCOLOR, you may alter the appearance of your page's background by including a BACKGROUND attribute that specifies the URL for an image file (jpeg or gif). If this attribute is included in the BODY tag, the browser fetches the image and tiles the background with as many adjacent copies of the image as it takes to fill the entire background area. This page is tiled with a copy of the image shown on a white background below.
I deliberately picked an image which would make the repetition performed during the tiling process obvious. Often, the images used as backgrounds are carefully chosen so that the viewer will be unaware of the repetition of the image. Constructing such images will be your goal for this first portion of this lab.
