I believe the problem is that you are trying to use a png. Try using a .gif or .jpg instead. IE doesn't make friends with .png's I find.
Hope this helps! - Lacuna ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 17:22:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Tuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [css-d] background To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I have a column that I am trying to fill the background with an image, but I can't get it to work right. Here is the css for that column. #middleColumn { position: absolute; top: 45px; left: 3%; height: 100%; width: 800px; background: url(../images/middleWhiteBg.png) repeat-y; } In Firefox the background displays correctly except on one page http://www.mplsfarmersmarket.com/beta/history.html where the background stops repeating, but in IE 6, the background doesn't repeat at all it seems. I can set the height at 1000px, but then there is extra space on short pages, and on long ones you are limited to space. Does someone have a better way to get the background image to repeat so that the it fills the whole page in both IE and Firefox?
