Hey Debbie, Well if you wrap a border around your footer, you see it is the 90px u specify and the background image repeats for the height thats there. So your css rule is doing what it supposed to be doing.
Maybe you want something more like this where footer stays at bottom unless content expands, then at bottom of content: http://scott.sauyet.com/CSS/Demo/FooterDemo1.html http://garyblue.port5.com/webdev/footertest.html http://alistapart.com/articles/footers good luck, Arian Hojat On 7/29/07, Debbie Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In this page: > > > http://www.parallaxwebdesign.com/projects/pete/ > > If you drag the bottom of the window down and out you can see that the > footer background repeats in the x-direction fine, but not in the > y-direction. > > I'm not sure if this can work this way, but I'd like it to extent > indefinitely downward (or just to the point where if they're using a > higher resolution, the background pattern doesn't just end abruptly). > > Here's the CSS: > > #footer { > clear: both; > position: relative; > bottom: 0; > left: 0; > padding: 0; > min-height: 90px; > height: auto; > background-image: url(graphics/footer_bg.gif); > background-position: left; > background-repeat: repeat; > } > > Debbie > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ > ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
