Its me again. Anyway, I have another question (argh, feel so stupid).

How do you make your background image static?
You know when you set a background image, it gets tiled and as you scroll down the page it repeats and repeats, but I dont want that. is there a way to make the background stay? Ive seen it on other pages. hmm I dont know if that came out right.

Thanks in advance.

There isn't - at least not a way that works.

Make the image large enough that it won't tile.

See above

At first all I got was a blank page - so, against my better judgement I turned on "frames" <YUK!> and saw all they had done was use the IE specific BGproperties="fixed" - doesn't work except in IE....

You can use css to do it BUT its IE specific as Gil points out.

For those us who like know what the solutions people found are here's an example for you -

Here's a sample of how to do it

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {background-image: url(imagename.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 200px 200px;
background-attachment: fixed;}
</STYLE>

Hope this helps :-)

You can set the background as a watermark...Format > Background...but it will tile in Netscape.
