I have a question. I want to have a picture in the background and have everything else scroll over it. Is there a way to do this in html or do I have to use java? Any tips would help me.

<head>
<style type="text/css">
@media screen {
body {
background-image: url('/path/to/image');
background-attachment: fixed;
}
}
</style>

@media visual {There's no 'visual' media type. Did you mean screen?

body {
  background-image: url('/path/to/image');
  background-attachment: fixed;
}You should also include a background colour, and may as well collapse these into a single shorthand declaration:

@media screen, projection {
body {
background: #ffffff url(/path/to/image) fixed;
}
}Mike

Oops, yes I did. Typo, sorry.

background: #ffffff url(/path/to/image) fixed;
Did you intend to miss out the body declaration? Is this a form of shorthand I know nothing about?

Did you intend to miss out the body declaration?No. :( Post corrected.
