I am trying to build a page ... with little current success.   Every 
time I think I have it, it doesn't work.

I want this:
1. a background image for the whole page
html{
        background-image: url(bgtile.gif);
        background-repeat: repeat;
}

2. a body ...
body {
        margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
        border: none;
        padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
        height: 100%;
}

Will that confine my body to 100% of the view port?  It seems to scroll 
even though I have it specified that way.

3. an outside wrapper that has a second background image in it ...
#outside_wrapper{
        background-image: url(wrapperbg.jpg);
        background-repeat: repeat-y;
        background-position: right top;
        height: 100%;
        width: 800px;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
}

Problem, I cannot get this wrapperbg.jpg to go to the bottom of the 
page.  I have some left floated columns (after a header) and it doesn't 
seem to repeat.  I have tried adding a second wrapper outside of that 
one "superwrapper" and then tried floating the outside wrapper inside of 
that for example ... doesn't work.  I have tired putting
<div class="clear: both"></div><!-- clearboth -->
just before the end of each div.

Where are the good resources for getting a grip on such issues?

I don't really have a clean site to refer to at this time as this is a 
project for someone else and I have their images on that site and cannot 
share them.

Thank you in advance.

Don
