a)
be careful with position: absolute. get into CSS and be sure to 
understand about the page-flow and positioning schemes.

b)
background-repeat might not be interpreted by all browsers(espacially 
browser-simulator IE), maybe try the "shortcut notation" instead.

background: url(someurl/somefile.gif) #fff repeat-x;

I know that definitly works in all major browsers.

Cheers,
Peter
