notice how you scroll content up and down and the image stays static in a fixed position. How is this done?

I tried using something like:
Code:
<body>
  <div id="fixedimg"></div>
  <div id="wrapcontent">
    <div> ... </div>
    <div> ... </div>
  </div>
</body>

with CSS that would place a background image in fixedimg layer w/out repeat using a z-index of 1; while wrapcontent was set to z-index of 5.

I appear to get the fixed image to stay fixed but the content is not visible, as if it goes behind the fixedimg layer even when the z-index is higher.

Suggestions?

Thank you all in advance for your help!

Now, why didn't I think of that? :)

Having looked at the referenced code and its associated layer, I was able to easily spot what I was missing and I now have what I was looking for.

Thanks!
