Hi, Bert, > It's apparently an idea whose time has come :-) Exactly :) > bg-and-border-shorthand-whatsit: tile(foo.png, 12, 20, 12, 20) This will also work but I think that we need also stretch flags to be described somehow. What do you think about following: background-image: fill(foo.png, 12px, 20px, 12px, 20px, stretch-left, stretch-right, ...) ? I've created screenshots with such stretched border-n-backrounds: http://terrainformatica.com/w3/p1/index.htm > Your idea of putting the four numbers in a metadata file and linking > to that would work as well, except that such a file format isn't > readily available and it requires a second download: first the > metadata and then the image. I understand that two hits is not so good but metadata file could be used also in <IMG> or <OBJECT> elements as a source of image. But this might not a big deal as <span class=class-with-background-image> could be used instead. Best wishes, Andrew Fedoniouk. MS, Physics and Applied Mathematics. Terra Informatica Software Design.
