Question

I\'m trying to repeat-y an image that\'s in a div and no background image but haven\'t figured how. Could you please point me to a solution?

Not with CSS you can't. You need to use JS. A quick example copying the img to the background:

var $el = document.getElementById( 'rightflower' )
  , $img = $el.getElementsByTagName( 'img' )[0]
  , src  = $img.src

$el.innerHTML = "";
$el.style.background = "url( " + src + " ) repeat-y;"

Or you can actually repeat the image, but how many times?

var $el = document.getElementById( 'rightflower' )
  , str = ""
  , imgHTML = $el.innerHTML
  , i, i2;
for( i=0,i2=10; i
