Dynamic / re-sizing repeatable background

Question

I need a dynamic / re-sizing repeatable background. It's a
200,200,200 to 255,255,255 gradient so I don't care about
distortion. I can't rationalize with the boss he wants it full
screen gradient no matter the resolution and he's driving me nuts.
Thanks,
Bill
Edit:
Here's my code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image:
url(/images/NBG%20Shared/Silver_Gradient_Background.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
-->
</style>
The background doesn't even show up when I preview it. I've
searched every help forum I can find on this and all are about
non-repeating backgrounds not showing up.

Answer 1

1. Don't use spaces in your filenames
1b. Backgrounds normally repeat, so it's not necessary to
restate that -
> background-repeat: repeat;
2. Rush your boss to the mental institution
3. This is not a resolution issue, it's a browser viewport
size issue
4. Rush your boss to the loony bin
5. To do this, you'd have to -
a. load the page
b. sniff the available space with client-side javascript
c. send the results back to the server so that a script there
can
dynamically resize the image to be used
d. fetch the image and page again
e. finally display it with the resized image
It's completely nuts....
This is why they say that bosses are like seagulls - they fly
in, crap on
everything, and then fly away.

No doubt it's because you have used a root relative link to
the background
image, but do not have preview with temp files enabled in
your preferences.
The only way you can see images linked with root relative
links in a preview
is with temp files enabled.
