RE: Background colour gradients

That is one line of thought.
However a 1 pixel high background will make the browser
have to load and render it 600 or more times.
Some people who say they have tested this will tell
you it is better at 30 pixels high and even though
it is a larger file it will display quicker as it only
gets loaded and rendered 20 times. I have not tested
this myself, but I have always beleived those who say
they have tested and found the second method to be better.
