do you mean to just keepe repeating the background command as many times as I want the picture. i need it to be just as long or short of the page that way for each page I will have to "measure it" anyhow thanks

if you make the image smaller the one command will tile the image for you. i take it you have an image which is quite large and you wish to make it smaller and then tile it? if you simply continue copying the same BACKGROUND command the user will be downloading the image many times making your page load slowly,
