Didn’t work for me. Why should it be so hard to make something that should be simple, happen. I have not found a solution anywhere. My site is on angelfire, and they add on a lot of code (bad code at that, a css validation brings up a full page of errors and warnings)maybe thats the problem.

@Bert: A css attribute designed to present a background graphic is intentionaly designed to not show it? Wow, I must have gone to the wrong school.

Ohhhh Myyyyy Godddddd… I have a BG image aligned to the bottom of my page (body), and in Opera it was just aligning to the bottom of the fold, so when you scroll down the bg image was just stuck where the fold was. THIS FIX THAT !!!!

Thank you, Sir…

Whew! That’s been bugging through about 3 websites. Thanks for this!

@bert – it may be valid CSS behavior, but its really screwy behavior that in my 5 years of programming CSS I’ve never heard of.

This is not a bug. It is perfectly valid CSS standard behaviour (that is probably why IE gets it “right”; because it is getting it wrong).
I wrote a short article about it:
