Keeping my background still
	
	
		Can anyone tell me if there is a way to keep the background on my webpage from scrolling with the text?  I have an image I'd like to use and have the test scroll over it.  I'm farely new to HTML so be thorough.
Thanks

		You can add this to the opening body statement:
<body bgproperties="fixed" background="images/background.gif">
Bgproperties="fixed"  is one way to do it.  You can also use a style sheet - you place this before the </head>:
<style type="text/css">  
BODY 
{ 
Background: white url('images/background.gif') fixed;
}
</style>
And if you want ths image only once & not tiled:
BODY 
{ 
Background: white url('images/backgrounds/generichdr.gif') fixed no-repeat;
}
</style>

		What can you do to keep a background image from tiling?

		Keep in mind this will only work with Microsofts Internet Explorer browser.

		Yes!
But is there also a way to do this same thing within a table?
If I want to insert an image in the background of a table and also want only the text to move but not the image... is there a way to do this?
Or would it be something that would have to be done using frames?

		Actually it will work in Netscape 6.2 - I did test it on my browser.  You can also review here: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/cs...ey/colorbg.htm
In repsonse to triconanz question, there are a couple of ways:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.tbl1
{
Background: url('images/back.gif');
Background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="tbl1">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Is one.  You can also use absolute positioning as well.
