Background No Scroll

I'm new to Dreamweaver.  I've been a Frontpage user as long as it's been around.  To keep a background from scrolling I simply check the watermark box in the page properties and it's done.  Apparently Dreamweaver isn't that simple.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Try to keep it simple as I said, I'm new to Dreamweaver.

    People who have a solid grasp of code basics can learn to use DW in a weekend.  Seriously, DW is not hard to use.   But if you can't work with HTML, CSS (and to a lesser extent JavaScript), the learning curve is very steep.  

    My advice is to spend a weekend doing code tutorials first.  In the long run, you'll be mighty glad you did .

    If coding is not your thing and never will be, then you should probably be using Muse.  It's aimed at hobbyists and designers who just need basic websites and have no coding skills.

    Yes I did.  There is defiantly an extreme learning curve to this program.

    I accidentally stumbled across this code background-attachment: fixed; and it worked.

    I tried that just now and my background disappeared.  When I removed the center center fixed; it came back.

    You probably used the background-image property instead of just plain background.

    It makes a difference.

    See CSS background property

    What you want is fixed.

    Example:

    body {

         background: url(some_image.jpg) center center fixed;

    }
