srollbar in layers?

[bigben1269]

On my website i have a content window where all the content for each page
will appear where the background image remains the same, however it is only
so high and on some pages i will have more content then the window will allow
with out expanding the cell and tiling the bg image. This content window is
centered in the middle of the page and i am unable to use frames this way.
What is the best way to do this where my bg image will not tile or be
distorted suchas making a layer on it with a scroll bar?. If i am way off on
this plz point me in the right direction. thanks!

what you want can be done with .css.
you'll need to set your content area as a <div> and on your style sheet give
it a height, width, background image (and scroll/no scroll properties if
desired) and set it's overflow property to "auto".
