Then the background will repeat all the way down to the footer, regardless of which column is longest. You have several options, but I will only give you two... Adding: #container2 { display: table; zoom: 1; } ...will work by creating a 'new block formatting context'[1] in all standard-compliant browsers, and introduce 'Layout'[2] in Internet Explorer. The 'zoom' property is not valid CSS though, and is only used by Microsoft. Another working addition is: #container2 { float: left; width: 775px; } I recommend this last solution for your page/case. It will achieve exactly the same as the other one, be perfectly valid, and work well across browser-land. A float will always create a 'new block formatting context'[1] and force 'Layout'[2]. Thus it will expand as long as no height is set on it. The width is there to make sure the float doesn't shrink or expand in width, as floats tend to do that by default - shrink or expand depending on which standard-revision they follow. regards Georg PS: please trim your posts - delete everything from previous posts that aren't needed for your new posts to make sense.
