it is all good, unless you do a crossbrowser test :(
I’ve tested this with different versions of IE along with different other browsers.. and not all of them are reading the background image for the html tag..

i couldn’t even get IE 5.5 to read the image. and there are still a couple of those around..
Even Mozilla 1.6 and some versions of camino couldn’t read it..
so i guess i’ll stick to the extra div boxes.. they still work cross browser and platform..
but nicely done though..

Thank you for this idea. It is so simple and brilliant that I am devastated I could not work it out myself.

A good one, Bojan. I guess this comes most useful when you have two different tiles on both x and y axis.
