Unfortunately, it can't be done. The IE filter that allows for PNG transparency <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532969(VS.85).aspx> can either stretch an image to fill an element, leave it the same size, or shrink the element to the size of the image; but it can't tile it, nor allow it to be positioned anywhere other than the top left of the element. One could construct some horrendous hack that dynamically created multiple <div>s, applied the filter to them and used absolute positioning to tile them behind the content; but I dread to think how many other IE bugs this would potentially trigger. Your best bet is to use conditional comments to give IE < 7 an alternate background image in a format it can cope with.
