header background and another one to repeat on Wordpress sandbox

Question

im building off the wordpress plaintxt sandbox theme, and what i have i a big background picture, on the body element, which is basically the whole background, it doesnt repeat. what i want is to have another jpg to repeat at the end of this one.

from what i realize, i cant put them on the same element. i tried to put the repeatable one on the html element but it didnt work correctly.

what is the correct way to achieve this??

thanks, adir

Answer 1

CSS3 now comes with multiple backgrounds. You can view the specification here.

An example of using this would be:

body {
    background-image: url(pic1.jpg) top left no-repeat, 
                      url(pic2.jpg) bottom left repeat;
}

Enjoy!
