Set size on background image with CSS?

Question

Is it possible to set the size of the background image with CSS?

I want to do something like:

background: url(\'bg.gif\') top repeat-y;
background-si         


        

Answer 1

Only CSS 3 supports that,

background-size: 200px 50px;

But I would edit the image itself, so that the user needs to load less, and it might look better than a shrunken image without antialiasing.
