Javascript: fixed position background image

[tjd]

Can anyone remember the fragment of code for fixing an image to the centre of the background of a page, so you can get the effect of a fixed watermark while the foreground text appears to scroll over it?

I swear I had the pesky little @#!@# somewhere...but I can't find it; hell it doesn't go more'n about 4 lines of code so its probably rolled under the CD drive somewhere, and what with the alzhiemers and all, I can't remember how it goes fr the life of me... Will someone help an old josser out? - "Oops! I've joined a club that'll have me as a member?" -

CSS solution

<style>
<!--
  body {
    background : URL of background image;
    background-repeat : no-repeat;
  }
-->
</style>

Thanx again, Cheech. That CSS is an easy way to do it, hey? If you want the thing to stick centre and appear site wide you need this in the sheet:

BODY {
background:URL(../images/name.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position: center;
...etc

won't do it on a single line fr some reason.
