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

I use background images for buttons, but it only shows the image the same size as the text, even if I set width and height. Instead, I pad out my text with   characters (non-breaking spaces). I slap in as many as needed, basically, until all the button background appears. So I might have code like this:

In the style sheet:

#v2menu-home {
    background-image:url(../v2-siteimages/button.png);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

In the HTML document:

    home
