Css / Html Expanding Background

Comprox

I bet it's something simple, but man it's been so long. My friend has a background for his website that has an image down the left, and white to the right. Problem is the image is a specific size and repeats on my background, like this:

<image><whiiiiiiiiiiiiite><image><whiiite>
<image><whiiiiiiiiiiiiite><image><whiiite>
<image><whiiiiiiiiiiiiite><image><whiiite>
<image><whiiiiiiiiiiiiite><image><whiiite>
<image><whiiiiiiiiiiiiite><image><whiiite>

How do I make it not repeat the background? Is there something like no-repeat, or some way to do it in CSS?

You don't want the background to repeat horizontally, but you do want it to repeat veritcally?

<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
body {
background: url(images/yourimage.jpg) repeat-y top left;
}
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

I do all of my HTML stuff by hand. I don't like programs that do it all for you, I feel like I don't have enough control.

That's something Fam would be aroused by.

And Tycho, most people do their own (X)HTML or CSS by hand. Well, most people that aren't idiots, that is.

Hell, I still edit pages in notepad sometimes.

I am in no way an XHTML master for coding in a text editor.
