I'm looking for a way to fix the background using Netscape, as it possible to do with Internet Explorer (background=fixed).

Thank you to answer me if somebody found a solution !

Here is the first known code I have seen which implements this function in Netscape:

<head>
<title>bg image</title>
</head>
<body background="whatever.gif" bgproperties="fixed">
&lt;script&gt;
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
  document.write("<layer name=\"scrolly\" zindex=\"1\">");
  for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { // change this no. 100 to the minimum value which makes the image appear all over the screen.
  document.write("<img src=\"whatever.gif\">");
  }
  document.write("</layer>");
  document.write("<layer name=\"content\" zindex=\"2\">");  
}

function alignIt() {
document.layers.scrolly.left = window.pageXOffset;
document.layers.scrolly.top = window.pageYOffset;
}
&lt;/script&gt;
put your text here
&lt;script&gt;
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
  document.write("</layer>");
  setInterval("alignIt()",1);
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</body>
</html>
