[thelist] CSS - background image keeps repeating

[sfmalo]

Problem: Could someone please check the code below. I am trying to not have
my background image repeat ... but it insists on repeating! What am I doing
wrong?

I've tried taking out background-position to no avail. I have tried taking
out "fixed" but doesn't help. Tried background-attachment - no soap (and it
doesn't work in NN4 anyway).

BODY { "a bunch of other stuff" ;
  background-color: #6600cc ;
  background-image: url(background_purplegradient1.gif) ;
  background-repeat: no-repeat fixed ;
  background-position: 0px 0px }
