Thanks in advance :help: :help:
 
I think it's because you have set it to bottom

Code: 
body
{ background:url('images/background.png') 0 bottom repeat-x #FFF;
  margin: 0 }

try setting it to top (if you wish top lace it there)

Code: 
body
{ background:url('images/background.png') 0 top repeat-x #FFF;
  margin: 0 }
 
Better yet, if you just need a simple gradient use the css linear-gradient property to apply it without any image at all! There's even an IE-friendly transform version if you're not doing anything complicated. Those repeating images are no longer needed.

I still prefer to used repeated images for backgrounds, that way I don't have to worry about what browser support it.
