background image repeat problem
Hi gausie,
Have you tried using background-position you can use values such as pixels to position.
Hope that helps

Tony, if I understand the question correctly this won't work. You can set the background to start repeating at a certain point using the background-position attribute, but it will still repeat up as well as down. As far as I am aware, you will have to have the background repeat from top to bottom of the element and add another element on top, to hide it. Or add a top margin. It depends on the application which is more appropriate.
Can you link us and it might be possible to give advice that's a little less vague :?

It's always easier to spot the mistakes of others than when you make them yourself

I'm pretty sure you can just use repeat-x or repeat-y, can't you?
