This is strange. If you applied the background image to the body element with a repeat-y, it should fill the screen. Are you serving the page as application/xhtml+xml? In that case, the body element is not magical, and you'll have to apply the background to the html element. E.g.: html { background: url(image/url/here.png) repeat-y top left; } HTH, Prabhath http://nidahas.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
