back to basics - page backgrounds

hello kind people of teamphotoshop ( please not my obviously poor attemp of sucking up to you all )

i would like to think i know a fair amount about websites and html, but something i've never done before is play around with the page background... specially when it comes to a background image

now, i know there are two ways, minus the normal way, of having a background

1) no repeating background when you scroll - so the bg moves with the page
2) non moving background - so it doesn't move what so ever, even when you scroll

now, i have no idea what the code is for these two bg options... i would be grateful if someone can turn on this light bulb inside my head and get my an example of the code. Even if its on a website

thanks in advance

Though the best way is to do it with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) that way you can make it not repeat or only repeat in one direction.

Plus the non-moving background trick only works in IE I think. Though I could be wrong, because I never use that.

style="background-repeat:no-repeat;"
style="background-attachment:fixed;"
