from 100px from the top of the browser?

Hi,

I have a BG image for the \*\*Body \*\*tag that I have set to repeat vertically down the page but what I would like to do if possible is for the image to repeat vertically starting 150 px from the top of the page?

Is it possible? I have tried:

background-image: url(‘image/image.jpg’)  
background-repeat: repeat-y;  
background-position: 50% 150px;

AFAIK this is valid code but I can’t seem to get it to work, if it is at all possible?

Thanks
