Another HTML question...;)

[Minxy]

Hi guys!

I'm probably boring the **** out of you all, but I got another question, lol
I'm starting to make my own website (my second one ever) and don't want it to look as crappy as my first one did
It's gonna be a personal blog, so it doesn't really need to look professional

okay, then here the question:
I want to have a background, wich stands 'still' (even if you're scrolling) but I want a page on top of it, wich DOES scroll, with the text and bla bla on it. But I want to see, like..15% of the background on each side of that other 'background'.. how do I code that? (in HTML, obviously )

an example: this livejournal...
you see? the boxes are movind up and down, but the background stands still.

Someone who can help me? please?
Love, Min

Hi Minxy,

If I have understood you it sounds like you want a similar effect to what I have done with my portfolio site. The bg is done in CSS-

body { background: url(design1/newbg.gif) repeat fixed;
}

This site seems to explain the various different ways of doing backgrounds with CSS-

<edit>one great thing about CSS is that you can actualy have two backgrounds, one via the body and you can also do the same with the html-

html { background url(design1/otherbg.gif) bottom right no-repeat;
}

</edit>
hope this is helpful
