You might want to rehost the image or something. Go to Imageshack, select "url," paste the background link into the empty field, and press "host it." Then copy the direct link into "URL HERE" in your code.

Also, is this a MySpace layout you're talking about?

instead why dont you use the background-attachment: fixed; property?
gimmekandylovr

He means to use this:

CODE
<body background="URL HERE" background-attachment:"fixed"

Also, please don't double-post. Use the "Edit" link at the lower right-hand corner of your post to add on to what you said in a previous post.

that still didn't work...

first of all, if you're using this on a myspace profile, you shouldn't, as the body tag has already been started. instead, use CSS, like this:
CODE
<style type="text/css">
body {
  background:url(LINK TO IMAGE) fixed;
}
</style>
