I tried to do this with my site awhile ago, and found that it crashed the Gecko (Firefox) rendering engine very hard (full CPU usage followed by a crash). I confirmed in here at the time that others using any web browser based on Gecko (at least Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape at the time) had the same problem (which goes away if the two backgrounds are the same image, oddly enough). This was back in late 2006, and I haven't revisited to see if I could do it with a newer version of Firefox, so I don't know if the bug is fixed. But even if the bug is fixed, there are always users stuck on old versions of browsers, and I generally prefer not to use something that I know _crashes_ any browser at all. :) You can get the same effect using the <body> and a <div>, which I did on my site at http://www.kungfu-silat.com/ - in my case, it's handled with these CSS definitions: BODY { background: #A00 url(pics/DragonBack.gif) repeat-y 1% 0%; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; color: #000; margin: 0em; height: 100% } div.secondbackground { background: transparent url(pics/TigerBack.gif) repeat-y 99% 0%; margin: 0em; min-height: 100% } -- Erik Harris http://www.eHarrisHome.com - AIM: KngFuJoe - Yahoo IM: kungfujoe7 - ICQ: 2610172 - Chinese-Indonesian Martial Arts Club http://www.kungfu-silat.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
