    The following code shows how to make a cross browser background image:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Cross Browser Background</title>

    <style type="text/css">
      html, body {
        height: 100%;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
      }

      #background {
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
      }

      #content {
        z-index: 1; /* The content should be above the background image */

        margin: 20px 30px;
        background-color: #000;
        color: #FFF;
        padding: 10px 15px;

        /* Just add some fancy transparency */
        opacity: .85; /* Standard: FF gt 1.5, Opera, Safari */
        filter: alpha(opacity=50); /* IE lt 8 */
        -ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=50)"; /* IE 8 */
        -khtml-opacity: .50; /* Safari 1.x */
        -moz-opacity: .50; /* FF lt 1.5, Netscape */
      }
    </style>

    <!-- IE6 sucks as usual - Add some special code for it -->

    <!--[if IE 6]>
      <style type="text/css">
        html {
          overflow-y: hidden;
        }

        body {
          overflow-y: auto;
        }

        #background {
          position:absolute;
          z-index:-1;
        }

        #content {
          position:static;
        }
      </style>
    <![endif]-->
  </head>
  <body>
    <img id="background" src="background.jpg" alt="" />

    <div id="content">
