    How do I make a background image repeated not only down but also across.

    Thanks

    background-repeat:repeat;

    or append it to the single background 'shortcut'

    background:#888 url(images/whatever.png) repeat;

    just as you would for repeat-x, repeat-y or no-repeat.

    Though repeat on both dimensions is the default behavior...

    The background image should automatically tile; if you set no value, the default of "background-repeat" is "repeat". If you have something that is stopping the tiling, you can set it manually to "background-repeat: repeat".

    The other values are no-repeat, repeat-x (repeats only horizontally) and repeat-y (repeats only vertically).

    In your css write:

    
body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background:#ddd url(images/example.gif) repeat;
}
    Code (markup):
