[Javascript] Background Image on webpages

[Robin Warnes]

This now works in both browsers, providing the fixed attribute is not included.  I want to "freeze" the image as a fixed static background so that the text will scroll over it.  When I include fixed this now kills the image completely in both browsers.

body {background-image:url("press.gif") fixed}

  I think you'll find that the correct syntax is:
   
  body {background-image:url("press.gif")}

  Hi,

  Could anyone please tell me how I can get the following stylesheet tag to work correctly:

  BODY {background:url(press.gif)fixed}

  I have found that the image will display in Netscape 4.7, but it does not seem to display at all in Internet Explorer 5.0.  The fixed attribute does not seem to work in either browser.

  Any solutions or suggestions will be appreciated.

  Best wishes,

  Robin
