An attachment should be fixed if you do not want it to scroll with the page.
The background-attachment property in CSS specifies how to move the background relative to the viewport.
There are three values: scroll, fixed, and local. The best way to explain this is via demo (try scrolling the individual backgrounds):
There are two different views to think about when talking about background-attachment: the main view (browser window), and the local view (you can see this in the demo above).
scroll is the default value. It scrolls with the main view, but stays fixed inside the local view.
fixed stays fixed no matter what. It's kind of like a physical window: moving around the window changes your perspective, but it doesn't change where things are outside of the window.
local was invented because the default scroll value acts like a fixed background. It scrolls both with the main view and the local view. There are some pretty cool things you can do with it.
