Try using the 'fixed' property while declaring 'background' with CSS.

it is already fixed in css.

i dont have a problem with background image not moving when a text scrolls over it.

i have a problem when scroll-bar appears my image moves 10-15 px to the left. i want to avoid that.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld MasterYoda!

Can you post your code? At a guess you're using Firefox (where a scrollbar appears whenever your content gets large enough to require it) and you're positioning your background image to the right hand side of the page. There are two approaches you can take to get around this:

1) Position your image away from the left hand side of the body instead of the right

2) Force a scrollbar to appear permanently (e.g. with body{overflow-y:scroll;} )
