Is it possible to have 2 repeating horizontal background images one on left and 1 on the right that meet in the center ?

I have a website splash page and it has repeating downwards lines on the left and repeating upwards lines on the right. I want to have them as my background but cant figure out how.

I want it to look somthing like this.. //////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here is my bunk code that I have so far and doesnt work.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image: url('images/backleft.png');
background-position: left;

background-image: url('images/backright.png');
background-position: right;

}
</style>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

It obviously doesnt work and I know why it doesnt work. I am just using it as a starting point.

I noticed that Billy Busseys www.akuza.com has accomplished what I wanted to do but I cant understand how he did it even after looking at his code.

This may be an intresting read for you.

It is possible by the css standard, but most browsers don't have this feature.

There are ways you could fake it by useing layers.
