Just to throw another wrinkle into this. What about Konqueror? My daughter set up a page with a fixed background where the text is overlaid and scrolls while the background stays in place. The interesting thing about this is that only IE and Konqueror interpret the page properly, NS 4.7, NS6x, Galeon, Mozilla, and Opera do not. They just make multiple backgrounds and scroll the whole thing at once or in the case of NS 4.7 have text scattered enough that you have to scroll sideways as well as up and down.
