I am designing a webpage and I need the background to have a 100% width, but the browsers cuts the image when it is too small or tiles it, leaving like a white 1px line between tiles which looks naff.
How do I get a background that covers the whole page?
Sorry, forgot to explain the background is a jpeg image.

In short: You can't.

In Long: CSS 3 will support stretching background, but currently no browser fully supports CSS3 yet (notoriously the antiquated IE6 is still the most popular browser). There are ways to fake it: http://webdesign.about.com/od/css3/f/blfaqbgsize.htm or another example: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/background.html

Better yet, try finding an alternative layout. Stretched image will look poorly stretched if the user's window size ratio isn't the same as your own screen's size ratio. The only image which looks ok with stretched background is flat color or simple gradients, both of which can simply use repeat instead.
