Hi Ben,

There are two ways that come to mind. If you use CSS, you could write:

BODY {
                       background :  url("Graphics/Image1.jpg");
                 background-attachment :  fixed;
}

"Background-attachment" is the property that allows you to keep the 
background image from scrolling.

The other method, which works only with Internet Explorer, would be to 
include the following in your BODY  tag:

.<body background="Graphics/Image1.jpg" bgproperties="FIXED">

Best wishes,

Mark Horvath
