There is a way to specify a fixed background, but as far as I know, it's
IE4 only. All other browsers will tile it. CSS may allow it too, but
full support of CSS is few and far between with the current browsers,
and not supported at all in the previous-generation browsers.

Try http://www.hwg.org (the HTML Writers Guild). They have several
topic-specific mailing lists to which you can subscribe, including an
HTML-specific list. Your question would have been very appropriate
there.
