Background image question

[tpascubarat]

I have a 4px x 400px jpeg image. I want to use it as my background, but when I place it there, it only covers the the top "half" of the screen using repeat-x. How can I make it "stretch" perpetually downward?

I tried that. I forgot to mention that the background is a gradient.
