[CSS] Background not repeating - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm trying to setup a repeating background image on a webpage of mine:

http://theravenel.mine.nu/pixelpost

Problem is, as you can see, the image isn't repeating. Here's the CSS code I have for it:

Code:

body{
    ... stuff
    background-image:url("http://theravenel.mine.nu/pixelpost/img/body_bg.gif");
    background-repeat:repeat;
}

Whats going on here? This should be working as far as I can tell...

looks like the image is repeating just fine to me. the image is kind of funky in that it is wider than my browser window so it looks funky.

Yeah, its repeating vertically just fine, but not horizontally as well, which, with a background-repeat:repeat declaration, it should. Baffling.

not baffling at all. the pic is wider than the screen so there is no need to repeat horizontal. you have a striped texture, a bunch of white, then more striped texture in the pic. look at the pic.

exactly what theFez said.
