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.
