Is this possible? Any cross browser compatibility issues?

TIA...

It's only possible with CSS: background-repeat: no-repeat;

Are you referring to keeping the background stationary?

I use the body tag
<body bgproperties=fixed background=whatever.gif .....

BODY{background-position:center;background-repeat=no-repeat;background-color:#c0c0c0}

In the above block of STYLE, we have a centered non-repeating background that is always in the center of the window (even on resize). Also, the background color covers the area where the picture doesn't repeat (it should be a color that can match the picture in some way).
