Can someone remind me how I get the background of a page to stay still?
i.e. which you can scroll up and down the contents.

Thanks.

<body style="background:url(picture.jpg) 50% 50% fixed;">

Something like this I think. This should 'center' the image at 50% from top and left, and "fixed" removes it from scrolling.

Must be doing something wrong - this method works fine for me. Can you post the code you tried to use?

<style>
body { background:#ffffff url(untitled.gif) no-repeat fixed center center;}
</style>
(above goes before "</head>")


It shouldn't matter if the declarations are not in 'a certain order', but this works and is a bit fuller than the example I gave last night.
