Step 1:Simply insert the below code into the <body> section of your page, immediately following the <body> tag itself. Change picture.jpg to reference your own background image.

********************************************************
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (document.all)
document.body.style.cssText="background:white url(picture.jpg) no-repeat fixed center center"
</script>
********************************************************

This script is designed to be completely cross-browser friendly. What this means is that you can by all means specify a "regular" background image to be used for surfers using browsers other than IE 4 to view. Just use the good old background attribute of the <body> tag to specify this alternate background image.

simply use bgproperties="fixed" in the body tag.
