i'm not entirely sure if/how this is possible, but i have a little problem. i have a small (8x8) image that i'm using to repeat as my main background...but i'd like to include it as part of my header image as well...like this:

header.png


but as you can see, it's shifting when it joins at the side. i'd move it, but it's by different amounts in different resolutions. is there anything i can do to make sure that it doesn't do this?
 
Where's the problem? That's a mock up I guess?

Make things transparent to show the pattern underneath, like around your head and the corners.

Edit: I see, having zoomed in enough. Yes make it a transparent gif (until png is supported) so the pattern comes through. I can have a go if youve got the files.

perhaps make the header using a .png with alpha so the background shows though it.

I suggested that, but I think ie doesn't support png still :/ Maybe 7 does. Edit: 7 does properly now.

there's very slight pixel shift, but it changes in different resolutions. i'd go for the transparency option, but it makes the edges so rough.
