I'm trying to do a fixed background with CSS.. the thing is, it won't work. Here's the code I have so far:

body
{background: #000000;
background-image: C:\Documents and Settings\Virginia\My Documents\Website Stuff\background.png;
background-attachment: fixed;

font-family: Comic Sans MS, Tahoma;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: x-small;}

Is it not showing because it's still on my computer and not online? (I didn't think that matters..)
Thing is, I have NEVER gotten this thing to work, at all. I always just used the <body background> tag right after head.. but since I need the fixed background and only IE supports that one tag with the fixed.. of course, maybe IE only supports that fixed up there as well? o.o I don't know, but I'm like pulling my hair out because it's ticking me off so bad.. (and watch it be one little mistake. @.@)

other browsers will support it if it is done in css.
bgproperties may be the IE specific thing.

body
{background: #000000;
background-image: url(C:\Documents and Settings\Virginia\My Documents\Website Stuff\background.png);
background-attachment: fixed;
font-family: Comic Sans MS, Tahoma;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: x-small;}

you were missing the url() part.
if your webpage is online, then yes, the image should be online and the coding should be pointing to it there.

no worries.
the only stupid question is the one not asked.
ask and learn.
