CSS border image question

I am using a border-left that is 25px, instead of a solid color, i would like to use a repeated image that is 25px in width, right now i have this:

border-left: 25px solid #000;

I tried to change it to something like this:

border-left: 25px url("image.jpg");

it doesn't change it to an image, and i'm guessing that it's not allowed in CSS. Am I doing something wrong? is it really not possible to do this? I need the element to dynamically change size along with the item that it is bordering, so making it a seperate div won't work. any thoughts?

I don't think you can have an image in the border-left property.
