<body bgproperties="fixed"......

Hi,
Anyone know if there is a different or newer tag for
<body bgproperties="fixed"....
This tag doesn't seem to be very browser compliant.
Thanks for your time.

The tag used here is fine. It is the _attribute_ that is evil.

It _is_ HTML, only not valid HTML ;-)

It depends. First, you can make almost anything valid by writing a
suitable DTD. But there is no approved HTML specification that has an
attribute for watermarking. Finally, as people have already pointed
out, there are CSS properties for the purpose, and you could embed CSS
into an HTML attribute:
<body style="background-attachment: fixed">
This is valid HTML 4 (or XHTML 1). However it is better to put CSS
rules into an external style sheet, or at least into a style element.

Beware that a fixed background tends to make the text harder to read.
If you want simple watermarking, you might consider using other
background properties in CSS too, like background-repeat: no-repeat.

For descriptive markup, certainly (one might want to argue whether
HTML4/XHTML1 is about descriptive markup in the first place, with stuff
like B, I, PRE, BR, HR, SUP, SUB, BIG, SMALL etc all over the place; in
the SGML family, tags *are* descriptive markup and procedural markup is
done with processing instructions -- but one might also want to argue
whether HTML belongs to the SGML family at all; procedural markup
languages use tags for presentational issues alright, and HTML does fit
much better into that category, IMNSHO).
The tag used here is fine.


You probably want to say that the generic identifier matches an element
type that *does* exist in public non-proprietary specifications.

*Tags* themselves can only constitute a problem in case of incorrect
omission or nesting.

SCNR :)
