I'm new to HTML and could use a little help.

I'm after a fixed background in a help file I'm writing. Using the code below it works fine in IE.

but viewing the same page in Firefox the background scrolls :(

If anyone could help it would make my year. Well OK it wouldn't but your help would be appreciated.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld jimmythesaint! :) The attribute

bgproperties

is IE-specific, and is not the recommended method. You should be using CSS as a cross-browser method for adding a background image. If you already have a stylesheet, add the following:

body {
color:#000;
background:#fff url(helpback.jpg) repeat-x fixed top left;
}

Or you can add the rule to the

body

element with a

style

attribute:

<body style="background:#fff url(helpback.jpg) repeat-x fixed top left;">
