I don't know if this will work for you, but this is what I did for a
similar situation:
#wallpaper {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height:
100%; display: block; z-index: 1;}
#wallpaper is the id for an image that is placed absolutely, with an
z-index lower than the rest of the content. It is not a background
image, but an inline image. In all likelyhood, the z-index probably
isn't needed, if you place this item first in the source.
This works great in IE, but I have not tested it in any other browsers.
It was for some software I developed that used a webBrowser control (IE).
Maybe it will work for you.
