The problem you face is when setting a image as a background to a layer or the normal page etc it will start to repeat when the image becomes smaller than the layer/area it is set on. Even if you create a table and use the image as a background once the table width/height is bigger it will repeat. I would suggest making a very small image that you know will repeat but when repeated still give an effect that is acceptable.

the content i hav in tat particular layer is actually quite a lot. so when scroll down, you will actually see tat the background is over tiling. tats looks kind of ugly..

if i assign "class" to it..setting layer background to fixed..tat kinda of stuff will it works ? how do u actually do tat..cos i never try before..
