Use CSS -

body { background-image:url(foo.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top right; }

But remember, if your background image is 800px wide, and my browser
viewport is only 500 px wide, the image will be truncated. There is nothing
you can do about this other than to plan better and not use such a large
image....
