Cannot display an image as background in HTML view

Issue:

When I export to PDF or Word a background image does display. How can we make this work for the web view? 

Resolution:

[toc on_off::hide=1]

The image element placed in the background section of a JRXML template does not come through in HTML because the HTML exporter is a grid exporter and overlapping elements do not work in those exporters.
