I'm trying to get a striped background throughout my profile, but I can't get it to repeat throughout, only across.

Can anyone look at my code and help?

<style> body { background-color: ; background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Demorg/Subeta/black_stripes_design_10.jpg); background-position: left top; height: 218px; width: 253px; overflow: hidden; background-repeat:; } </style>

EDIT: Okay, I found out what I was doing wrong, but now all my info if crammed to the right. Why did that happen? :(
