Just use "repeat" instead of "repeat-x" if you want it to repeat in both axes.

no, it not work

[g2k556]

body
{background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
background-color: #7E655B;
background-position: top;
background-repeat: repeat-x;}

that should help. if not, let us know the results. and what are you doing with the margins?

hi , thank you for the reply, your code is the same with the old one, the problem is the image is not long enough, I need both x and y repeat, usually, I use background-repeat: repeat, but it not work.
thank you

Try not using the repeat line at all and the image should repeat itself both across and down and leave out the background-position line also.
