Unfortunately, out of Opera 5.11, Internet Explorer 5.5, Netscape 4.01, NS 4.61, NS 4.7, and NS 6 (the extent of my testing), only IE supports this trick. It can be kinda cool (startled me the first time I saw it), but because of the non-existent cross-browser support, it's unwise practice to make the fixed background a critical aspect of a professional design.
can't you set a scrolling property to the img tag? i thought there was a property that worked on earlier versions but has since gotten left behind... "Absorb what is useful, discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own." - Bruce Lee - The Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Oops, forgetting CSS methods again.
According to the background-attachment property (allowing the same effect as bgproperties="fixed" in IE) is fully supported in Opera 4+, IE4+, and NS6. Use Netscape 4.x? "No fixed background for you."

Luckily most of the world uses IE 5+. The numbers rise each month, don't worry about other browsers so much. Especially in this case. Unless your client happens to be one of the few left using Netscape
