Are the background properties on this page only possible in a CSS? I do not know how to do them and I want to put a static image as a background (no repeat) and a table with text over the image.
This is one example I saw last week (unfortunately it doesnt' work in the browser I use, firefox but works well in IE)
The globe in the corner is the image in this page and this is similar to the effect I want to use.

Here's the CSS code:
body {background: #000000; //your color
background-image: url(your image.gif); //your image
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left; //you can change the position of the image here
background-attachment: fixed; }

So.....from my original question:
Are the background properties on this page only possible in a CSS?
The answer is "yes" then? I cannot do these things w/o a css.
A CSS is like a program that I write/assign then call to it later?
Thanks Marta, but isn't there a global setting? I have to select it for every msg?

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {background: #000000;
background-image: url(your image.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
background-attachment: fixed; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE
</body>
</html>

When I make a page I can use background=image and it does not have to be part of a CSS. I don't know how to make them, so I was asking if I can do it w/o making a CSS. I want an image but I dont' want it to tile infinitely. Just show up once, and the table with text scrolls over it. Can this be done?
Actually, it will be the background of a portion of a table. I have to look at but hopefully I can just put one large cell in the center of the others.
