Tiling background images.

    I am trying to figure how to tile my background. I have checked in the .css template and it shows:
    body {
    background: #ffffff url(‘wp-images/bg3.jpg’) repeat-y left;
    font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, Verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; /* IE 5.5 hack */
    }
    I have tried left, right, up, down you name it will go to that one spot. Is there a command to tell it to just tile the whole background?

    delete the “repeat-y left”
    the default ‘behaviour’ is repeat

    I think I am right in saying that the default behaviour is repeat x and y if there was such a thing. repeat-y left as is in the original is fine. I would try a new graphic and then do a <ctrl><F5> which is more likely to be the problem. You can make up a simple tile gif in any kind of graphics programme.
    God ugly ? Surely not 🙂

    I just left the repeat with no other command after and that worked, out of curiosity I will try the repeat -x also and see what happens. God ugly! it was 3am when I asked my question so not sure where I got God ugly “if your listening it was nothing personal”.

    That’s a Trident template right ?

    Yes it is, I had the new Kubrick template, I was having trouble understanding everything so Trident was suggested to learn on. It is a very nice template (Trident) though.
