When I use x for background repeat, the tiles run horizontally along the top of the page, and when i use y they run vertically down the left side of the page.
I'm assuming there's something in my existing stylesheet that is causing a conflict, but I can't find it.
Here's the body code:
<body style="background-color:#FFFFFF;background-image:url('images/wallpaper_bg.png');
background-repeat:repeat-x;">
