Hi, I was wondering if there is a possible way to keep the background image still. So when you scroll down the image always stays there without getting scrolled up with the info in the middle of the page. I'm assuming this would have to do with setting the scroll bar somewhere else since the image has to stay still.

A3OutlawHQ. there's a much simpler method: Put this in the <body> tag:
<body img=&quot;image1.gif&quot; bgproperties=&quot;fixed&quot;> This make the image stay in one plce no matter how far down the page is scrolled. But this only works in IE and not in NS4.72, it may work in NS6... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Ok, cool but there is one other element I forgot to include, if I had icons on the right side that is a layer on the background pic would I be able to make the icons stay along with the background instead of disappearing when scrolling down?

Hmmmm I tried the html code above and the pic does not seem to load. It just stays blank, possibly I'm doing it wrong?
Can you run it by me again?

Hi, this is the code:

<body background=&quot;imageName.jpg&quot; bgproperties=&quot;fixed&quot;>
You just put in the <body> tag, and whatever the image is it will not scroll down as it noramly would. Only the text, images, etc on top of the background image will...
As for the icons on the right side of the image, if they are included on the background image then they will stay put, if the icons are placed on top of the background image then it will scroll...understand?? I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

here is a link to the code where there is a layer in page remains in a fixed position of the page change the contents to contain your navigation or your icons and then will also stay fixed even when the page is scrolled
