I have an image I'd like to use for my homepage, but I don't want it to scroll, so I just want it to sort of like watermark the page. You know how it can be done? let me know

That should be:

<body style="background-image: url(image.gif); background-attachment: fixed;">

there's an easier way to do this...


<BODY background="image.gif" bgproperties="fixed">

aah thanks ronald for correcting me, dunno how i messed that one up lol
Crosis:
background="" is depricated depending on what markup you are using.
and bgproperties="" is IE only

<style>
BODY
{
background-attachment: fixed;
}
</style>


i find that one easier to use because you can add it to the page anywhere you want

Most embedded css coding should be within the head section shouldn't it?

Only place STYLE is allowed. Browsers are sloppy but not all of them and not forever. :p

erm... "never put them in the head"??? interesting advice. you should put all <style> or <link rel="stylesheet">'s in the <head>...

put it in the head... doesnt take much effort and that is where it is "correct"...
