How can I prevent my website background from scrolling?

Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to create a website and I want my background picture to stay stationary (or repeat and stay stationary) when I scroll. I've tried a few html codes and none of them work, the page either repeats and scrolls or has shows the photo once and the rest of the page is white. I'm new to dreamweaver, know nothing about html and primarily use photo for making tables/cells (or whatever). Please help me if you can. It's weird, I put this in between the <head> <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url('smiley.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed } </style> and the background doesn't show up in the dreamweaver preview, but it does in the browser. Please tell me what the problem is.

  1. Use CSS http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp Or try this <body style="background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat;" background="bg.jpg">
  2. background:url(pathtomyimage/myimage.jpg) repeat-x top left; You don't need to use background-attachment. But you do need to give it a width and height in order to show up.
