Default Any Frontpage users?

I'm ready to rip my hair out. I just made a website using Frontpage and I made my own backround and theme. However, I don't want the backround to tile. I want it to be anchored to the top right corner and when the backround image stops, have a black backround. I can't find a setting anywhere to stop the tiling. Anyone know? Please help me before I have no hair left!

do you know how to edit HTML?

change the BODY tag, and add in there: BGPROPERTIES=FIXED

that will lock the background image in there. it only works in internet explorer though, from 4.0 on, I believe...or maybe 5.0

get away... far far far away from Frontpage! and this particular effect isn't that great with tables and layers for browser compatibility, but it all depends what you are doing and how it looks.

The above is the HTML that Frontpage shows. However, it does hide some of the html. It leaves out the backround tag because I opened the site (www.sparacing.com) and clicked view source. There was a lot more HTML.

Sorry to be a pain. But MF'n Frontpage deletes that tag everytime I put it in. What the hell do I do? After I add the html and go to the preview mode, it works. But when I save it or publish it, Frontpage deletes the BGPROPERTIES=FIXED tag.
