The property is read/write
for all objects except the following, for which it is read-only:
currentStyle.
The property has a default value of
scroll. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is
not inherited.

Remarks
This property can be set with the other background properties by using the background composite property.
Microsoft® Internet Explorer 3.0 supports the background-attachment attribute, but only when it's set by using the background attribute.
Examples
The following examples use the background-attachment attribute and the backgroundAttachment property to set the background to "fixed", so that the background does not scroll with the text.

</HEAD>
<BODY background="some.jpg">
