Set Up Horizontally in Photoshop to get a vertically-stripped background.

Then fill in a color of your choosing (like this green) about a little bit wider than the width of your buttons. This example is 150 pixels. Fill in the rest with another color. This example is with white.

Save as a .gif and put the file in your body tag as a background.
body background="file_name.gif"

Remember, putting an image in the body code with background= before it will make and an image tile and fill in the window. If this image had obvious edges, you would see the edges. Since it only has color, it tiles seamlessly.

Since I made this file 900 pixels wide, if the page scrolls over past the 900 pixels, the green will repeat. Pull the window wider and you will see the green repeat.
