If you want a background to fill the browser-window - declare it on
html/body and let it repeat.
If you want a block-element (a div for instance) to span the same full
browser-window - leave element-'width' at default (auto) and declare the
background on it and let it repeat in both directions.
Element-'height' is normally left to depend on amount of content -
letting it grow with content, but if you ain't got any content you can
make all decent browsers (and a few not so decent ones) go to full
browser-window-'height' with the following...
html, body {height: 100%;}
element {min-height: 100%;}
* html element {height: 100%;}
Example: <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_14a.html>
...but note that this example has restricted element-'width'.
All the above is elementary CSS layout methods. What isn't so elementary
is that older browser-versions are not always up to the relevant CSS,
and that browsers are not in perfect agreement about how to interpret
every possible combination of CSS properties/values.
One must also take into account that screen-dimensions and
browser-window-dimensions at the user-end are unknown to the designer. I
personally range them from 200 x 200 to 4000 x 4000, just to be somewhat
on the safe side. 600 x 400 to 2400 x 1800 is more realistic.
So, the exact method that'll work best for you, can only be sorted out
once the whole set of design-ideas you have are known and tested across
browser-land and window-sizes.
I suggest you create a few (dozen) test-cases until you've got a hang of
basic CSS design.
