Syntax
HTML { background-attachment: sAttachment } Scripting object.style.backgroundAttachment [ = sAttachment ]
Possible Values
sAttachment String that specifies one of the following values:
scroll Background image scrolls with the object as the document is scrolled. fixed Background image stays fixed within the viewable area of the object. The property is read/write with a default value of scroll; the cascading style sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.
