Hello again Brian,

    Francky's examples are really good, I like this method of using one 
image for background effects. I've only tried image slicing with 
navigation before now. Anyway, you need to use the min-height attribute 
and a wee hack for IE <= 6.

     .inner-body, .inner.left {min-height: 100px; /* or whatever */}

    * html .inner-body, .inner-left {height: 100px; /* or whatever */}

    The second rule is an IE-only hack that should probably be in a 
Conditional Comment (worth reading up on) but anyway, the point is that 
when you set a fixed height in IE <=6 and the content extends beyond 
that height IE incorrectly expands the height of the container so in 
effect it's the same as min-height, but only in IE.

    I've just done some reading up on min/max stuff in IE7 and it seems 
it's not in the beta yet but they are working on it. Does anyone know if 
IE7 still expands elements with a fixed height if their content overflows?

    Cheers, Rob O
