IE will allow you to "watermark" the background (it doesn't scroll), but all that really does is make the text close to impossible to read.

You can place the background image in a table the same size and maybe get the effect you want?

<style type="text/css">
body{background-repeat: no-repeat}
</style>

But before you start celebrating the downside is that it is poorly supported. In all versions of NN prior to NN6 your page will be a mess. It will eithr ignore it and just tile it anyway, but it can be worse than that.

And the news is not so wonderful in IE either - it will not repeat, it will just sit in the top left corner. You can get into using x and y coordinates to position it in IE but it will then look just right in one resolution and screen size and totally wrong in all others.

Putting bgproperties="fixed" in the body tag just does what FP calls a watermark.

So Gil was right - you can't.
Investigate his suggestion that you use a table bg somewher to acheive your effect.
