How do I freeze the background of a page using HTML? I know that this tag exists, but I just can't find it. I found the javascript version at a1javascripts, but that is not what I need. I need it in HTML so that browsers that are not javascript enabled can do it. Thank you for your time!<!--content-->Well this is the wrong forum, but I'll give you the code anyway:<br />
<br />
<BODY BACKGROUND="backgroundimage.jpg" BGPROPERTIES=FIXED> <br />
<br />
This is the simplest way to do it, but you could also use stle sheets:<br />
<br />
<STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <br />
BODY { background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:fixed; <br />
background-position:left top;background-image:url(backgroundimage.jpg) } <br />
</STYLE> <br />
<br />
(The <STYLE></STYLE> tags go inside the <HEAD></HEAD> tags)<!--content-->It won't work in anything but Internet Explorer though.<br />

<!--content-->A large fraction of internet users use Netscape - so it should not be forgotten about...not just yet, anyway.<br />

Also, is your site a site that might have more Netscape visitors than normal?<!--content-->I'm in an area that was heavily saturated with Netscape. Many of the local ISP's and the local Cable modem people were defaulting to Netscape.

I was only showing it as an example as I get a good portion of netscape users to my site. and I was just stating that netscape is not on it's way out and people still use it quite a bit. I love NS, but I don't like how it doesn't support half the code IE does. <br />
<br />
As far as the background moving in netscape, who cares. I did the same thing when I first started out. my site doesn't work very well in netscape but it gets the information across. so my menu does't change color on mouseover like in IE.<!--content-->Originally posted by spektrum <br />
It won't work in anything but Internet Explorer though.<br />

What won't work in anything but IE?<br />
<br />
Netscape 6 supports all of CSS background properties.<br />
<br />
background=fixed is proprietary to IE/AOL.<br />

I believe the best bet now for backgrounds is to go entirely with CSS specs. NN4 supports the background-color property so you can declare a bgcolor and declare all the rest of the properties to look good in N6 and IE4+. <br />
