does anyone know/explain how the floating background is accomplished at this site

<http://www.sitevista.com>

A wide (1100+) image with the 'visible' part offset to one side on an 'invisible' (white) background. Styled with 'body {background-position: center top;}' it'll stay put until the window-width becomes so narrow that the fixed-width elements create a scrollbar, and since background-images don't affect the container (body) or create scrollbars, it'll create a nice illusion.

They just forgot to test the design thoroughly across browser-land, so the illusion is slightly broken in Opera, where 'padding:0' on body is needed.
