I use a background image to recreate a chrome buttom effect. The image file size is very small, and since it ia a background property applied uniformly, the efficiency is maximized.

You can really get advance with CSS background images, but you need to consider your original purpose. If it is reduced load times and fast rendering speeds, tiled or multiple application images, may be the best compromise.

Note: url('/images/tile.jpg') <--- IE5 MAC gets confused by the single quotation marks. It computes them as part of the actual string. IE5 MAC will fill your logs with 404's because of this.

The quotes are optional... doubles, no problems, single qoutes, IE5 Mac will stumble. No qoutes, all is well.
