well, a width on the body will just make the body, well, wide... CSS1
and CSS2 have no provision for scaling bg images....

CSS3 wants to, but, well, not anytime soon...

if your image really tiles, but has edges of a solid color, let's
say, then you can just tile your image all over the place and let
your main container handle the color bars down the side with anything
from a very wide colored border to some colored block-level
elements...
so, if we could see what you're trying to do, perhaps we could offer
some suggestions?
