background-image

I have background image for a site header with fixed width. Now I am trying to convert it to a stretching layout.

Is it possible (in CSS2) to take 1px wide portion from the middle of that header image and make a filler out of it? Otherwise I would need to manually cut 1px wide portion of an image, save it as a separated image, and use it with repeat-x.
