CSS background image help

[Trifid]

I am making a website for a band and they wanted to have one of those Myspace style backgrounds where it stays in the same place and it appears the text moves when you scroll down.

I didn't know how to do this so I used one of the Myspace editors. The problem now is I can't make it fill the page. I want to have it 100% (image doesn't look bad stretched) but it continues to only have one image horizontally and repeats vertically.

I have done my research and found that it can't be done. Some sites go onto to say there are ways to make it do this but these don't work. Has anyone got any experience with this that will care to help?

Thanks, Trif.

what about background-attachment: fixed; ?

 

[Wimnat]

background-image:
url('whatever.png');
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed

Or, more concisely

background:#colour url('whatever.png') repeat-y;
background-attachment: fixed;
