Glad to hear you say that ... ;-) Have a look at the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) specification. This allows you to specify two background colours which will be smoothly faded in a given direction. Clearly this is much faster and more modem-friendly than actually sending an image of the fade, plus it copes with any window size (although your 50 x 1045 image is a good attempt at that). There is also the facility to have background images that are fixed relative to the window (not the page). I saw this used last week to fix a company logo at the bottom right of each slide in a presentation, without having to have lots of <br> or anything.
