Background Text Image

How can I place text on a page like a watermark background. For
example, I may want to put FOR SALE in large red letters in the center
of a page at a 10% opacity then write text over it from the initial
point of origin. I've tried using style commands, but the results are
inconsistant.

Something like this maybe?

<div style="position: absolute; z-index: -1; color: red;
filter: alpha(opacity=10); moz-opacity: 0.10">
<h1>FOR SALE</h1>
</div>
