Heyas all,

I was wondering if anyone can direct me towards a script or tutorial in how to keep my background still when you scroll the page down....

Thanks in advance

Add bgproperties="fixed" to your tag.

<BODY BACKGROUND="mybackground.jpg" STYLE="background-attachment: fixed;">

Preferably, the style would be in a global stylesheet, not in the actual body tag. Or in a local stylesheet if it's only one page with a fixed background.

body {
      background-image: url(mybackground.gif);
      background-attachment: fixed;
     }

Why is this the preferred method? Because of forward compatibility. As browsers support only higher and higher levels of HTML, any pages left in legacy states will devolve into raw, unstyled, unformatted text. Using a global stylesheet allows you to leave the content in basic markup only, and control that markup through the stylesheet as the web evolves.
