I am wondering if your browser is not honoring the "background-repeat:

Could be - I know enough about HTML to do simple stuff, but I've never
gone beyond that. I wonder if the "background-repeat" setting is a new
extension, and perhaps even an IE-specific one? Some old "intro-to-HTML"
stuff I've got lists many fairly basic tags as "IE-only" or "NS-only",
although it might be out-of-date.

AFAIK, background-repeat is part of the W3C CSS1 specifications, but I could
be wrong.  Anyway, it seems to work in NS4.7[1] as long as stylesheets are
turned on.  The problem lies in the BODY tag.  If CSS is turned off, the
browser reads:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="/images/build/bgr770x074buildnav.gif"...
and thus, the background repeats.

1) Surprisingly enough...since Netscape 4.x has terrible stylesheet
implimentation.  Take a look at

in 4.x and some other browser (NS 6 or IE 5.x) to see an example of how
badly NS 4.x screws things up.
