IE 6 ignores background-repeat

Can someone tell me why does IE 6 ignore no-repeat and repeat bg image
twice in the following page? I tried adding it to container div
instead of form, but it is till repeated exactly twice.
With repeat-x it is repeated twice across the page.

I have no IE available so cannot check.
You should add character encoding UTF-8 to you page so that kyrillian
characters are displayed properly.

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

That is an example page, it doesn't pass thru ASP.NET engine and so
the header is niot appended, I only put it up to demonstrate the
background bug which appears on normal pages too (if I enable this of
course).

Perhaps if you corrected the 45 validation errors:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...nline&verbose=1>
Many of the errors are because you are using HTML syntax in an XHTML
document.
Why are you using XHTML Transitional for new work? Given the coding you
would be better served with HTML Strict.
IE tends to be a bit flaky with XHTML. It does not really support it,
just guesses that it is a weird from of HTML.

Most of the validation errors come from CMS-driven HTML code (WYSIWYG
HTML editor generates it) and catalog buttons' code.

The fix was a classic IE 6 fix - I just had to give it haslayout...
