Background images that don't move

[BigVikingAl]

I need to know how I can keep a background image stationary and appearing to always be in the same position as the page moves (scrolls down). I hope you know whayt I mean. An example can be found at http://www.mediajobsearchcanada.com

I do not know what you mean.

Are you talking about the maple leaf in behind that is scrolling?

Easiest thing to do usually is put it in a table and it will stay within the table. Or define the table height and make the image that height too.

I think he's talking about those crappy floating ads that move while you scroll. They are a java script but I can't think of any good list that would list a sub with one of those on there. I believe it was MaxCash that tried to get webmasters to use them several years ago.

if you mean the leaf background, use this in the stylesheet:

BODY
{
background-image : url(images/background.gif); <~~change this
background-position : center;
background-attachment : fixed;
background-repeat : no-repeat;
}

or if you are just using a simple returning background image:

<body background="image.gif" bgproperties="fixed">

Thanks majick, that's it exactly. Works perfectly!

Be aware, not all browsers support the non-scrolling background attribute.
