I think Philippe was referring to the block element being "stretched"
(likely a DIV just inside the BODY element). Background images cannot
be re-sized in any way at the moment, but will tile automatically if
you specify only the background-image URL.

Note that DIVs normally "stretch" to fill available horizontal space --
no need to apply any special rules for that- you only need a height.

It seems like you want position: fixed; - be aware this does not work
in IE 6 and earlier.

Cordially,
David
