Need help with layers/backgrounds

[naiku]

Hi All

I am using Javascript on a background layer to resize it so that it always fills the screen. However I want to keep the background fixed and scroll the text/content of the page.
Since I am a beginner I am not 100% sure how to achieve this. I know I can use CSS to keep a background fixed and scroll the text, but the background is on a layer with the Z index of -1 so I don't know if I can keep that static.

Is there a way that my background layer can remain fixed and I can scroll the text over that layer?

Any help greatly appreciated

just make the background your BACKGROUND IMAGE dont put in in a layer "blah blah blah blah blah..."-Dennis Quaid

Would changing it to a background image affect the Javascript? or would the background image still resize regardless of whether it is a layer or just a background image as long as I changed the variables in the Javascript?

You will have to use JS and put the background in a layer in order for it to resize. I have not done that but once you write or find a free script please post it here. Peace

ok get the presistent layers extension from macromedia exchange. It will keep your layer fixed. also there is an extension at macromedia exchange called backgrounds that fit. That is a resize script that streaches or compresses a layer according to size Ranjan
