This is strange. If you applied the background image to the body
element with a repeat-y, it should fill the screen.

Are you serving the page as application/xhtml+xml? In that case, the
body element is not magical, and you'll have to apply the background
to the html element.

E.g.: 

html {
  background: url(image/url/here.png) repeat-y top left;
}
