Scrolling Over Static Background Image

Is it layering, watermark, or?

[Jioffri]

Can someone please advise on the best way to use FrontPage or any other software to create webpages that have a fixed static background and everything else that scrolls over the top of it when you use the vertical or horizontal scroll bars?

Use CSS to add a fixed position background image to whatever element you want to have the watermark.

For instance you could add it to the middle of the body like this..

body { 
  background: #fff url(watermark.gif) center fixed no-repeat; 
}

G. Stewart,

Thank you for your prompt reply and assistance to my question. I will read the information contained in the link you provided and attempt the process. My main goal as I tried to summarize in my post is to have the entire text of one layer or several layers appear to transparently scroll over the top of a static background image that does not scroll. I hope I was clear on this. I would also like to know what the correct terminology for this effect is beside the CSS properties that are involved. Have a great day! :)
