Hi!

You're talking about the background image, aren't you?
If so, there is a way working in IE only:

<body background="PutPathToYourImageHere" bgproperties="fixed">

As far as I know, this is the only way, if talking about a "real" background image.

You can of course achieve an effect like that, by putting an image in a div or another container with a certain position and size and text in another (scrollable) container at the same position with the same size and a z-index at least as much as the one of the image container...

Cheers - Pit

/*<![CDATA[*/
body {
background-image: url(foo.gif);
background-attachment: fixed;
}
/*]]>*/
</script>Simply replace foo.gif to the filename in which you want to be displayed as the background for your page.

Take a look at the source on these pages. The line at the end of the STYLE code. http://www26.brinkster.com/rwpaste/ A few of us members were working on it for fun. But it is in dead storage right now.
It works in IE or NS7.
