You can have one background on the <body> and one on <html>, but I'd
recommend against it. I tried to do this with my site awhile ago, and
found that it crashed the Gecko (Firefox) rendering engine very hard
(full CPU usage followed by a crash). I confirmed in here at the time
that others using any web browser based on Gecko (at least Firefox,
Mozilla, and Netscape at the time) had the same problem (which goes away
if the two backgrounds are the same image, oddly enough). This was back
in late 2006, and I haven't revisited to see if I could do it with a
newer version of Firefox, so I don't know if the bug is fixed. But even
if the bug is fixed, there are always users stuck on old versions of
browsers, and I generally prefer not to use something that I know
_crashes_ any browser at all. :)
You can get the same effect using the <body> and a <div>, which I did on
my site at http://www.kungfu-silat.com/ - in my case, it's handled with
these CSS definitions:
BODY { background: #A00 url(pics/DragonBack.gif) repeat-y 1% 0%;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; color: #000; margin:
0em; height: 100% }
div.secondbackground { background: transparent url(pics/TigerBack.gif)
repeat-y 99% 0%; margin: 0em; min-height: 100% }
