Is there a way to vertically tile a .gif image without using HTML boxes (running under HTML 3.2)?

All background images are tiled unless told otherwise, and since there are no such attributes in HTML 3.2, they always tile, in both dimensions. The only valid way to control tiling in HTML 3.2 is through image size. Make your tiling image wide enough, and it will appear to only tile vertically.

Ah, the problem is that I’m not talking about background images, just a graphic that I want to have grow vertically as I need it.

You can’t do that, but if you have a graphic that ends in a solid color, you can combine background color on the parent element with color of the graphic and simulate it. I remember doing that back in the late 90s when HTML3.2 was all we had, and it was very fiddly, but it did work.

The little borders on the right sidebar are using that technique. The site is long-dead, but some of it is still around to be looked at.
