[Javascript] Background Image on webpages

[Andrew Dunn]

Like many other nice things you can do with web pages Netscape does not
support this.

Hi Andrew,

Many thanks.  This now works brilliantly in Explorer.  However, the image is
not static in Netscape.

Best wishes,

Robin.

  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
