Author sparkle background

I seem to remember years ago I made a sparkle background for a web page.
For the life of me I cannot remember how I did it.
I have made a tile, saved in animation shop as .gif.
Now, how do I go about filling in the 1024 x (high) to make the background.
Hope I've made myself clear.
Thanks for any help.

If as a background image it will tile.

If your gif is a tile you just want to tile it on the webpage, so put the
name of the gif in the body tags of the page as follows:

<body background="tilename.gif">

Guess I'm dense Trev, but I don't understand.
The sparkle tile 110x110 .gif has sparkle animation.
Do I have to make the 1024 wide image animated?
Is there a way I can fill this with the tile and keep the animation?
Perhaps I dreamed I did this years ago.
Thanks,
Mavis

That same gif will just repeat its self over and over vertically and
horizontally if placed as a background
