The design I am working to has different backgrounds for alternate columns. Is it possible to set up different tiling backgrounds for each column,
e.g.
column:nth-child(n+1) {background:url(tile1.gif) repeat-x; }
Or do I have to fall back on a huge background image that tiles every two columns?
Unfortunately you cannot change the color of the columns:
