Thank you very much. I got it to work properly now.

I have tried many different things but nothing has worked. I did figure out why it wasn't calling the gif in the first place as I had made an error in the code. Once I fixed it, it started to work. But I can get the right side to go if I put that in again or have it repeat-y both. Here is the section of the code that I've been working in. #content_box {background:#fff url('images/faux.gif') repeat-y left; width: 970px; text-align: left; float: left; clear: both; } #content { width: 510px; padding: 0 0 0 10px; float: left; } #sidebar { background:#f2f2f2; width: 210px; padding: 0 0 0 10px; float: right; } #l_sidebar { background:#f2f2f2; width: 210px; padding: 0 0 0 10px; float: left; } #footer { background:#00005f; width: 970px; padding: 1.2em 0 0 0; border-top: 2px solid #ccc; float: center; clear: both; } Thanks for your quick reply yesterday. Ian Hi, Ian. The problem is that your background image should have both columns. Since it only has one (and you set the background at the left) only the left column works. You're using a fixed layout, so using an image with the widths you want should give you no problem. Also, if you're using the faux-column technique, you don't need to set the background color for the columns anymore, doing so could even give you a small problem if the image's column width is a little smaller than your actual columns.
