Repeating Background Image

[holmedwa04]

Hi,I was creating a website a while ago, and I had an image that I needed to go down the right side of my page, obviously because the size of my page would change I set the image to a certain size and then made it the background of a cell, the problem only occured when I realised that the image would repeat both left and right as well as up and down.Does anyone have any suggestions pelase on how to make an image only repeat up and down and not left to right?

Are we talking about a background image? If so, then:

background-repeat: repeat-y;

should do the trick.

I am using this line of code now, but im not sure whether I have put it right or not:

<td width="77" background-repeat: repat-y;="rightbg.gif">

It doesnt seem to do anything at all now, it just doesnt display a background now?Sorry for an inconvenience!

<td width="77" style="background: url(rightbg.gif) repeat-y;">

I do use CSS, I have my own style sheet, all be it not a very good one, but it does some stuff for me.Its here is you want to have a look at it.

a:link {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}a:link.2 {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"; font-weight: "bold";}a:visited.2 {color:"blue"; text-decoration:"none"; font-weight: "bold";}a:hover.2 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"; font-weight; "bold";}a:link.3 {color:"black"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited.3 {color:"black"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover.3 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}a:link.4 {color:"red"; text-decoration:"none"}a:visited.4 {color:"red"; text-decoration:"none"}a:hover.4 {color:"green"; text-decoration:"underline overline"}body {scrollbar-3dlight-color:#000000; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-base-color:#000033; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000; scrollbar-face-color:#000066;scrollbar-track-color:#000099; scrollbar-shadow-color:#000033}

I have used class' on my link settings, so I can have different links.

Oh, right, I didn't realise, does it stop it from working in other browsers or just make it display normally?

you will only see personalized scrollbars under IE. The rest of the browsers will show up them like they are.curiously under safari is not possible to configure buttons and other objects.Paulo A. Silva

Ok, thanks so it isent a problem to me, just to leave them in then?

[justsomeguy]

curiously under safari is not possible to configure buttons and other objects.

Seriously? Safari does not style form elements? I use that extensively, I style all of my form elements and buttons.
