The only way I know is with stylesheets. Use the background property of 
the BODY tag:

BODY {background: url(bgimage.gif), no-repeat, scroll, _postition_)

where _position_ is either a pair of coordinates, horizontal then 
vertical (percentage or a unit of measurement), or one of the keywords: 
top, middle, bottom, left, center, or right. This will put the image 
"bgimage.gif" at _position_, without repeating it. The image will scroll 
with the window. Incidentally, CSS is now the preferred method of 
setting background images.
