To make a picture the background of web pages:
1. Point the <body> background attribute to the image file name using <body background="picture.gif">.
2. Add the bgproperties attribute with a value of "fixed" to keep the background image from moving when scrolling: <body background="picture.gif" bgproperties="fixed">.
3. Place the <body> tag with the background attributes after the closing </head> tag to set the background image for the entire page.
