image layout problem

[twcman]

I have a site that has a background image with text across the top and banner down the left side. I have two images of each, one for 800x600 and the other for higher resolutions. My problem is that when there is a long list of database records the background repeats itself and the large text and color at the top block out the database information. I tried to fix the background but my client does not like the effect or the database text going over the large text at the top.

Is there a way to:
fix a layer or something at the top so the database text will appear to scroll under the background text and color or

Stretch the bottom of the background image to fill the screen no matter how "high" the page becomes?

thanks.

you can use a CSS with the background property "background-no-repeat" so the image is not tiled or centered. Makes your background stretch.
