background tables that do not effect scrollbars?

I've seen a few big websites do this, but never looked at their confusing non-proper html coding to see how, and now I can't because they are not doing it anymore.

MySpace.com and WWE.com both did this.

 

Take MySpace for example, for anyone who has any resolution above 600x800, you'll see their gray background on both sides of the main page. Well they put huge ads (sometimes video/flash ads, but I'm looking just to use images) on both sides.  So 600x800 users do not see the ads (and their scrollbar does not enlarge to see the sides) and others with higher screen resolution do see the two sides.

I highly dought it was just a big background image set with CSS, and hope it was not so I can do the same on one of my pages.

 

I don't just need to put two images on both sides, but need to use tables as there are multiple images to user for both sides.

 

 

I know this is somehow possible to do, but I have no clue how.  I've tried all I've knew.

And I can't seen to come up with the right keywords for google, so google isn't much help now.

 

Anyone help me out?
