CSS Background Image - Newbie needs help

Question

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to place a background image in the body of my
page. Pasted below is the code:
Questions:
1. When viewed in the browser, only part of the image can be
viewed, and no vertical scroll bar is available to view the bottom
portion of it. Is there a setting to toggle such that the entire
image can be viewed?
2. As part of the background image, I have text that I want
to use as hotspots for links to other pages in the site. Do I need
to place a table or use some other technique to enable use of
hotspots?
Thanks from a very Green Newbie.

Background images will never force scrollbars.

Yes. You cannot put hotspots on background images. Be aware
that this is
the worst (well, publishing a page made in Microsoft
Word/Publisher is the
worst) way to make a web page.
