Able to lock a BG image? (but not the above content?)

[naimeiiz]

Hi all...

Just wondering if its possible to lock my BG image image so that it does not scroll, but the content (consisting of images) does scroll 'above' it...

ie. the content of the page moves independently to the BG?

I mostly use Dreamweaver3 and am happy to use extensions or edit html if needed.

That said though I'll try any suggestions that present a solution...

Also wondering if there is a term for what I'm trying to do that would help me search for an extension or solution?

Thanks!

This was a spammer, but I'll briefly answer anyway...

This can be done with CSS.

A fixed background doesn't scroll with the page. The content scrolls over the background image, which remains stationary. To lock the background in place so that it doesn't scroll, use this:

background-attachment: fixed;

You also may need this:

body {margin: 0px;}

And that's basically it.
