white fat bottom

I'm trying to put together a site for the fist time and I just can't
figure this out...in the stylesheet I'm trying to have a background
image repeat from the bottom of the page...it's dark then smoothes out
to white. It sort of works, but on my 17inch monitor I have a huge fat
white margin running along the bottom. Why isn't the background image
flush against the bottom? Would be very grateful on some advice on
this. I've included the body and container tag below...if this helps.
TIA.

body
{
background:#FFFFF1 url("backg.gif") repeat-x bottom;
}

#container
{
width: 760px;
\width: 770px;
w\idth: 760px;
margin-top: 30px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding: 0px;
}
