Hi,

I can change the white background to an image background but as I scroll down the background image goes up with the rest of the page.

Is it possible to have a background image that is “frozen” in place so that as you scroll down the background image does not change position?

Yep, of course it is possible.

Take a look at the following that explains exactly the code you need

So I got it to work! Yay.
Used an image from another template from you guys.

Just a question about how it repeats horizontally.
I see with the actual template (http://xfnow.org/) it automatically has the image just on the sides.
Whenever I set it up on ainow.org, the image repeated 3 times horizontally going across the page. Is there a way to change the code?

Can you do an image of what you are after exactly? Your page currently looks fine to me.

What I’m looking for is exactly what it looks like as of now.
I’m just not sure how it will look for someone who has a different size monitor?
I just made the image with paint specifically for my computer?

I think you have it right. I’m viewing on a very wide screen and it looks goo right down to the point a screen smaller than your overall template width. I don’t think you will have any problems.

Hi Herb2586,
With backgound image you are using has width 1349px, you can ensure the site runs well on the screen < = 1349 (Ex, 1024, 1280). With larger screen you need to make larger background image Ex, for screen 1680 then your backgound image need to > = 1680px
