I don't know what you mean by tables move but I can tell you how to fix the background:

<style type="text/css">
body
{ background: #000000;
background-image: url(back.gif);
background-attachment: fixed; }
</style>

Add that between the <head> tags. Change back.gif to the URL of your background image. That should work, if not let me know

I'm learning basic Html format not css style. i do not no much about .I guess basic Html is out dated compared to css style. i'm studying these formats of tages<html>
<head>
<title>Title of page</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

There is no HTML tag that does this, only CSS can do this for you.

You can add this to your body tag:

<body background="yourimagename.gif" bgcolor="#ffffff" bgproperties="fixed">

The only problem is that it will only work in the Internet Explorer browser. Other browsers will just see a normal background. I'm sorry but thats the only way I know how to do it with HTML. I don't think there is another way.

1asphost.com doesnt have ads on the page...there may be a pop-up ad. I forget. I use that, but watch out, it does invalidate codes by hiding a little "hosted by 1asphost.com" line to your code. That doesn't mean really anything except that if you put it in a code validator it'll say "not valid!" when what you coded really is. Users will have no idea though.

You can use awardspace.com (http://www.awardspace.com). It's wonderful, you get a lot of space and no ads. The greatest thing is it supports PHP and CGI so when you start learning that you will be able to test it. I use it myself and its really great.
