your code [if it worked] would stretch an image no matter what the screen size,
which would have some ugly results.

best approach to it, is to create an area of the image that can be tiled, either vertically or horizontally, and then use the 'repeat-x' or 'repeat-y' to tile it in the page.

saves page loading times, and also allows you to have cleaner gfx.
