Watermarks
<BODY BACKGROUND="IMAGE.JPG" BGPROPERTIES="FIXED">
Watermarks are the result of not only assigning a background image to your page, but also specifying the BGPROPERTIES="FIXED" attribute, which will prevent the background from being scrolled with the content of the page.

This page has a background image, and it has been set to be a watermark.

I've also included enough gibberish text that there should be plenty of room to scroll around. So scroll the window already, and let's see what you think...

Pretty cool, no? The text moves over the top of the background image, which stays in place.

But wait, what about that flashing of the text? Do it too much, and it really starts getting annoying. Now ponder this question: Is the effect of the watermark really worth it?

I've been told that IE 3.0 will have better code for doing the scrolling, and it won't flash like this. But this question remains: Does a simple textured background really gain anything from being set as a watermark, or are you just trying to show off?

Nam dolus et caedes, et vis cum nocte recessit, Neve Giganteum ipluribus ran Dii timuere scelus. Forte aliquies scopuli recubans in vertice pastor, Roscida cum primo sole rubescit humus, Hac, ait, hac certe caruisti nocte puella, Phoebe, tua, celeres quae retineret equos. Laeta suas repetit silvas, pharetramque resumit Cynthia, Luciferas ut videt alta rotas. Et lastim dar vet pulbus unim. Forsinth de mi.
