Recipe 2.5 Creating a Line of Background Images

Problem

You want a series of background images to repeat vertically or horizontally.

Solution

To tile the background image horizontally, or along the x axis, use the following CSS rule (see Figure 2-10):

body {

 background-image: url(bkgd.jpg);

 background-repeat: repeat-x;

}

Figure 2-10. The background image tiled horizontally

To have the background image repeat along the vertical axis, use the repeat-y value for background-repeat.
