Where in the FQ did you say that you had read up before posting? That
you knew anything about the backgroundPosition property (as opposed
to the (background-position attribute)?

The second example shows how to change the background position using
the backgroundPosition property. I will concede that the example uses
a hard-coded value; but you never gave any information about how to
calculate the actual position. I apologize for assuming that you knew
how to determine what background position you needed.
<body onload="
var elem = document.getElementById('someIdYouNegelectedToMention');
if (someConditionYouNegelectedToMention) {
var pos = someCalculationYouNegelectedToMention;
}
else {
pos = anAlternateCalculationYouNegelectedToMention;
}
elem.style.backgroundPosition = pos;
