 I have an image that I want tile both verticall and horizontally so I

 too many values. Is this not the proper way to so this?


background-repeat:repeat;

(or you could just not decalre it, bvecause I've yet to see a browser
where it isn't the default setting.)

Which is good, because such a browser would be non-conformant. The spec requires the default value to be "repeat". See <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#background-properties>. I also wanted to point to the spec because the original question was about proper syntax. The spec is the authoritative source for those sorts of questions, for those who don't want to wait for an answer on the list.
