This part below makes a lot of sense regarding how browsers paint a positioned background when there is no background for <html>. > If background-repeat is specified (no-repeat), the space created by <body> (it's computed > height) will be used for background-position But are you quoting the spec? Because I can't find the above in that section (14.2). I can't find any mention of "background-repeat" in these 4 paragraphs. Actually, what I find in there is kind of confusing (may be *you* should write the spec ;) "Such backgrounds must also be anchored at the same point as they would be if they were painted only for the root element." -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
