Demo: Look at the background. It contains an image that
remains in the background and static, even if the page is
scrolled. That would be the watermark image!
This script is designed to be completely cross-browser
friendly. What this means is that you can by all means
specify a "regular" background image to be used for surfers
using browsers other than IE 4 to view. Just use the good
old background attribute of the <body> tag to specify this
alternate background image.
Description: "Watermark" is a word most
people in the
desktop publishing arena are familiar with; it refers to a
figure or design impressed to the paper and always visible in
the background. Well, a watermark background image is
very similar in concept to a watermark. It refers to an image
that is statically positioned in the background of the
document, and always visible (even when the user scrolls
the page). In the past, you may have used the bgproperties
attribute of IE 3 to create a watermark. The problem with
this attribute is that it titles the watermark image if it does
not fill the browser screen (like any background image), so
in order for the effect to be successful, the size of this
image has to be nearly as large as the screen. In IE 4, CSS
can be used to create a watermark background that does
not tile, meaning you can comfortably use an image of any
size as the watermark image. Finally!
