How to make the background stationary?

[Bruce W...1]

I've seen number of websites where the background image doesn't move
when you scroll down the page. Just the content scrolls. How is this
done?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, my crystal ball is broken so I can't look at the source of those
websites and tell you!


But they just might have used CSS, background-attachment:fixed. See

As CSS definition.

body{background:url("image.jpg") fixed no-repeat;
background-position:center;}

or

body {background-image:url("imagename.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center; }

URL will be the full path of the image within the ( ). Do not change "URL",
that is required as is.
Position can be "top left right bottom center" or combination of two.
"center" by itself places the image in the physical center of the page while
"top center" would place it at the top center of the page.
