Table Gradient troubles

I have a table that has a gradient that is white, light grey, dark grey. The gradient restarts with every row. When my page is wide, 1000px, it works fine. However when I shrink it down, the text in the cells wrap but the gradient doesn't expand. Any suggestion? I think the root cause is the image it is referencing isn't very tall.

If there is a video to refer to, I'd gladly go check it out!

    <style type="text/css">
    .compare-grey-row {
    MARGIN: 0px;
    BACKGROUND: url(https://cc.cnetcontent.com/vcs/lenovo/data/css_resources/ISS_Static_images_lenovo_common_css_backgrounds-R5_compare-table-rowgrey.gif) repeat-x left center
}
    </style>

[[ed. note:]] Added markdown to fix code formatting

SOLVED: Added an internal style based on this http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/cssgradientbackgroundmaker/default.html

Do you have a link to the site, that this is happening on, so we can see the bigger picture?
