background-attachment

Background properties can be set for individual elements or as a global (default) property which will effect the entire contents of the page. If a background property is not specified, the browser will implement the default color scheme (which is rather dull), which will almost certainly not look the way you intended. background-attachment This property is used to specify whether the background element will scroll with the body of the document or remain fixed in place, with the rest of the document scrolling normally. This property is not inherited, and is used in conjunction with the background-image property. background-attachment values fixed This value is used to 'attach' a background. That is, as you scroll through the page, the background element (usually an image) stays in place within the page while the rest of the page content scrolls normally. This is the default value. scroll This value allows the image to scroll normally with the document content. That is, it will not stay stationary in regard to the document content. EXAMPLES: P {background-image: url(watermark.gif); background-attachment: fixed} This example will cause the image 'watermark.gif' to remain fixed while the rest of the content of the page scrolls normally. P {background-image: url(figure1.gif); background-attachment: scroll} This example uses the image 'figure1.gif' within a paragraph. The 'scroll' value of the document-attachment property shows that the image will scroll with the paragraph text.
