i am not sure of the exact way to do that (i just use simple html and css) but a great place to search/ask for web type questions is www.htmlforums.com
It is like the web design version of Linux Questions

I have done that but it doesn't display the image. My img. is in /var/www/cgi-bin/ .

Do i need to chmod the img. if so then what?

As long as your image has the read bit set, it should be readable.
You need to use a fixed background, sometimes called a watermark.
Its easy to do in CSS, with this code.

Code:

<style>
 <!--
   body {
     background-image : url(" path to image");
     background-attachment:fixed;
   }
 -->
 </style>

Heres a snippet from my css file.

Code:

body{
background-image:url("../images/background.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;
}
