    is it possible to set the background image as a link to internal page of the site?

    and also, the matter is really if it is possible to set the background to fill all the screen? without frames or edges....

    I haven't tested it, but I did a Google search and found this article. Looks to me like it would work.

    Pretty clever. :)

    As far as displaying the entire image without frames or edges, the problem is that different visitors have different monitors and resolutions, so setting an image to fill the screen will sometimes case it to stretch and distort.

    Generally a good strategy (depending on what the image is) is use an image that is large enough to cover most resolutions and let the excess be cut off on smaller screens. As long as there isn't anything important on the edges of the image, your smaller-screened visitors wouldn't know the difference!
