Actually, the background image is positioned exactly as you want
it (assuming you've written your CSS properly, which I'll assume
since you didn't provide an example). It is then repeated along the
axis you specify-- but it's repeated in both directions. So if you
set 'repeat-y' then it repeats both up and down from its position, as
set by 'background-position'.
This might seem like a pointless distinction, except it does
matter. If you center an image (50% 50%) and repeat it vertically,
the repeated pattern will be visually centered. If the 'y' value
were ignored (as in 50% 0), then the pattern would be visually
"top-justified", for lack of a better term.
There are no values such as 'repeat-down' or 'repeat-right', which
is what I assume you're seeking.
