How to make a fixed background

I am sure you have seen it somewhere, the fixed background (example of fixed background).

If you scroll up and down the page the background stays in place behind the text and images that move up and down on the webpage.
This can be a cool effect, but only if the fixed background does not confuse the reader too much.

This is effect can not be seen by all browsers. In our tests (18th of Oct. 2004) the following browsers were tested:
Fixed background works on: Internet Explorer version 6.0.2600 for PC
Fixed background works on: Opera version 7.50 for PC.
Fixed background works on: Internet Explorer version 5.2 for Mac
Fixed background does NOT work on: Opera 6.02 for Mac.
Fixed background works on: Safari browser for Mac OSX.

Of course you need a background image. In addition to the normal code for the background, you just need a little extra addition to your BODY tag:

bgproperties="fixed"

When done, your body tag may look like this:

<BODY background="image.gif" bgproperties="fixed">

Simple!

If you have troubles, you can look at the source code on the example page.

There is no additional support on this issue.
