Fixed Background Image Problem

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Can anyone tell me in simple language, how to set a fixed background image
(watermark) in Front Page that will work with different browsers? I am able
to fix the image in Internet Explorer but it continues to scroll in both
Netscape and Mozilla.

- Thanks in advance. You guys have always been lots of help in the past.

This is one I don't think the regulars are going to tell you how to
fix!! :-(
As far as I've found, you can't.

Sure you can! Use CSS:

<style>
body
{
background-image: url(backimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed
}
</style>

Note that Netscape 4 doesn't support this.

I'm pretty sure that just sets the "fixed" attribute for the body tag.
That's an IE-only thing.

What I wanted to do was use a small jpg tiled and have the tiled
background as watermark. That works in IE but not NS/Mozilla. Is
there a way to code it so it will?

Your page is not using CSS - it's using IE proprietary coding -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="images/tcclub_logo_small.jpg"
bgproperties="fixed">

Change that to -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="images/tcclub_logo_small.jpg"
style="background-attachment:fixed;">

and see what happens.

I am not familiar with FP1.1, but surely it has some way to get at the code?
If there is a way to do that, you can always add an embedded or linked
stylesheet to the head of the page.
