: In MSIE 4 the background image can be made static by placing

: bgproperties="fixed"

: in the <body> tag. Is there a way to do this for NN4?

By fixed, do you mean, "not scrolling"? As in, no matter where on the page you are, you still see the background image behind the text (sort of like a watermark)?
If so, then, unfortunately, not. NN4 does not suppport the CSS property "background-attachment". In IE, you can do something like this:

BODY{
background: url (myface.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
}

which will create a background image (myface.gif) which will NOT repeat and scroll with the browser window. This is a lot like the GeoCities image down in the lower right corner. Netscape doesn't support the attachment attribute, though. Oh well. Maybe in Communicator 5.
