Use the Style properties panel (Set CSS Styles button)
In the 'Colors' slice click the Background target or the Plus sign under the 'images' area.

Thanks in advance.

You'll find the code is within the CSS. The <html> tag has been styled
to show the background image.

Go to:
Panels > Stylesheets

You'll probably find two stylesheets indicated there. Double-click on
the first and look for a line similar to:

background-image: url("myfile.jpg");

Delete it, then click the COMMIT CHANGES button (at the bottom right
of the dialogue).

How do you select the <html> tag in order to do that?

Greg,

I see that this is a problem.

Usually I would expect the document background to be set for the body element so would present no problem. With xhtml, setting it for the html element makes more sense and I see that the wizard, for simplicity I suppose, always sets it there. That may give the user a problem if you don’t get it right first time.

The Style properties panel can reach only the elements listed in the Structure bar and that gives access only to the body and descendants. One way round this is to use the CSS Pro editor. That gives access to all the CSS rules used by the document.

Otherwise you are limited to editing the source code. That’s life.
