Please, more information!
Still, for guessing...
Initial Call...
{
background-image: url(images/mypicture.jpg);
}
Is the initial CSS to use.
Please note that the URL can be handled in 2 different ways.
1)Explicit - you use the FULL path to the file... such as from the root directory... images/products/bigimages/happyimage.jpg
2)Relative - the image is in a folder/directory or sub-folder/directory of the CSS file if it is external.
Thus, if you have inline or embedded CSS, then the URL should be Explicit.
If external CSS files are being used, then you can use either Explicit or Relative.
For positioning of the image...
{
background-image: url(path_to_image/file_name.ext);
background-position: H V;
}
The position values can be;
1) Exact - measurements in PX etc.
2) Relative - em/% etc.
3) Text - left/right/center/top/bottom etc.
tiling of the image...
{
background-repeat: repeat_value;
}
The Repeat Value can be;
1) repeat-x - for Horizontal (L to R) tiling/repeating.
2) repeat-y - for Vertical (T to B) tiling/repeating.
3) no-repeat - for no tiling/repeating.
You can also try "fixing" the position... though that can get a little confusing.
Does any of that help?
