It shouldn't *not* tile? I think you misstated what you perceive to be
the problem.
Regardless, your HTML is invalid, so you can't expect any browser to
give you what you want.

Fix your errors and try again.
- Your stylesheet needs to be inside the <head>
- <style> is missing the required type attribute
- You haven't closed all your divs
BTW, you should be using a strict doctype, not transitional.

Your html:
<div id="index-01"></div>
It's an empty element, which means it has no height, so there is no
space for a background. As it should be.
You seem to be hacking away at CSS without any comprehension of how it
is *supposed* to work. Get a book, or read the specs at w3c.org.
