[BNM] Background image on html element

[Matt Keogh]

Sorry, I should have made myself more clear.

I am using CSS (not sure if there is any other way of adding a background
image) and I'm trying to not use the body element as it is being used for
something else.

I can achieve what I want to do but have to add an extra div. Although I
don't mind (too much) adding the div it would be great if there was some
kind of "Magic Bullet" I could feed to IE 5 only with conditional comments
to get it to work. Just hoping someone else has had any luck trying to do
this.

Cheers
Matt

Always best to use css , and your better off styling the body element 
rather than the html element.
