Let me start by saying this is my first project using either Dreamweaver or Photoshop.

I want to create a background for a website which two gradients on top of each other.
I guess my questions for the moment are, how can I ensure that the background I create will fill the page of most web browsers?

What size canvas is should I be using in Photoshop to ensure that I am able to do a good job?
