We're asleep most of the time :-)

Try adding:
#content #wrapper {display: table;}
...or
#content #wrapper {overflow: hidden;}
...to make that container expand to hold content - and stretch its own
background (which is what you want, I think).

God afton Georg;

Well, nice to see a fellow Scandinav (I'm born and raised Swede) on this list, 
even though I'm in diaspora in the USA since six+ years.

Thanks for the suggestion :) now I just have to figure out why that is working 
LOL

The display table did the trick for Mozilla and Opera on PC, however, on Mac 
it's till pretty messed up, the whole first wrapper is placed to the right of 
the nav on top, making the page double wide in Mac IE 5.

I do not know why this is happening on the Mac, and I was wondering if it may 
look the same in Safari and more recent Mac browsers.

The reason it's working is described here:

... 9.4.1 Block formatting contexts...

You may try any of the containing floats solutions linked in here:
http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_example_01.html
...but IE/Mac is locked out from some of my own solutions.

The following is still not tested well enough to be called safe, but
does work in later IE/Mac:

Time to get some more sleep, me thinks ;-)

Hey Veine

Unfortunately, without being able to see it, it means as little to us as it
does to you!

A link to the site/page in question would be useful.

Trying to understand where I have gone sooo wrong 

This looks ok in IE (surprise eh?) however Mozilla, Opera and Mac IE 5.1 / 
OS8.6 it breaks and looks awful.

I have now stripped the css to the bare minimum for requirements and uploaded 
a fresh copy of it, it validates but it doesn't mean anything.

Thanks in advance for any/all help :)

  Regards
~Veine
