re-post

Hi,
I posted this last week but didn't get any feedback. I am not sure if
this post didn't get any observation by other or there was not any help
on this issue. So please bear with me on this.
The question is:

background-repeat: repeat-x works fine in IE and FF and as expected,
produces something like
............
hello
............
On Safari, the output is not what is desired.
||||||||||||||........
|||h|e|l|l|o||
||||||||||||||........

There are these extra vertical lines where ever text appears and the
dots(thats the image) repeat fine when the text is not there, like
shown above.

Is there a reason why this would happen?
Thanks,

You've not provided enough information to answer the question or to
even make a sensible stab at it.

Yes. However, it could be one of many things.
- the image is wrong
test: try a different image or two
- the browser has a bug
test: difficult to test
- the HTML code is wrong
test: http://validator.w3.org/ for a start
- the CSS code is wrong
test: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ for a start
- it's not, you're hallucinating
test: get someone else to look at it
- your monitor isn't working properly
test: get someone else to look at it

Some are more likely than others, obviously. For the last two, we need
a URL of where we can find this strange phenomena on the web.

Try to produce a minimal case for the problem - take out as much
HTML/CSS code as you can while not stopping the problem. Then take out
some more that stops the problem. You now know roughly where the
problem is.
