align background

I'm trying to learn how to build wites coding rather than rely on wysiwyg's. Thus far, I appear to be falling at the first hurdles.

I'm trying to use a 1 pixel high (750 pixel wide) jpeg image as a background to my web page. I want to use this so it will display as a central column in the browser, regardless of user resolution, and I can overlay other images (.jpg Banners or .gif NavBars) onto it.

Is it possible? I can't figure it out. My background just resides against the left hand side whatever I do, and that throws out the positions of everything I need to lay onto it.

I've tried lots of different code combinations etc., but this is where I left it after my last effort:
"<align="center">
<body background="Graphics/EUROpageline.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
</align>"



p.s. Why am I seeing so much code above the WebForumz banner on some pages? I thought the pages were corrupt until I moved the scroll bar accidentally down.[/b]
