Hi,

I have a bigger sized image which I want to use for background.
I want to repeat this image thought css. At present the image size is
32x32. When I repeat through background style class, I get it 4 times in the intended area. I want to have 8 instances of it in the background. To do that I want to resize the image as 16x16 and use it for background.
Background-image style does not have size attributes. Can anyone suggest how should I achieve this dynamically ? Otherwise I dont have any option other than resizing the actual image though an image editor.

Thanks

Vijay

You can use the CSS3 "background-size" property, or you can fake it: http://webdesign.about.com/od/css3/f/blfaqbgsize.htm
