The background-repeat property determines how a specified background image is repeated. The repeat-x value will repeat the image horizontally while the repeat-y value will repeat the image vertically. For example:

BODY { background: white url(/images/lbg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y }

In the above example, the image will only be tiled vertically on the left of this page.

Authors may also use the shorthand background property, which is currently better supported than the background-repeat property.
