Css category Question

My question is how would you do like a category row image like lets say a bar to not repeat the image in the row category I know the css code is something like

Code:

"No Repeat"

but how would you force the bar to be left of the category row and like i said not repeat?

the html code is

Code:

{LEFT} {/LEFT}

{ }< means >[ ]

Which forum version are you using?
