if you are going to use some type of css, then y not use it for all of the body tag? anyways style="fixed" is not valid but this is
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Background Centered</title>
<style type="text/css"><!--
html,body {
background-image:url(back2.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;
/*shorthand version below*/
/*background:url(back2.gif) fixed center;*/
/*for no repeat*/
/*background:url(back2.gif) no-repeat fixed center;*/
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<body>

You'll need to do it with CSS.

Don't do this (in strict mode), you are placing two images on the background.
html,body {
background-image:url(back2.gif);
There are stacked on top of each other.
html, body {
height:100%;
}
html {
background:transparent url(Image.gif)no-repeat;
}
body {
background:transparent url(Image.gif) center no-repeat;
}

The two are only visible in Moz. and Opera no IE

background: url("back2.gif") repeat fixed center Missing a ";" at the end of the style and you can drop the quotes around the file name.
