Hi

Any of you guys using the Barlow theme has been able to extend the left sidebar to the bottom of the page? I want to change its background colour but i am finding it extends only part of the way down the page. I did some searching on the Net and discovered that there are some issues with some browsers and divs. I was able to get the effect I wanted in IE but not Firefox (I use Firefox mainy). Can anyone help?

Create an image with the width of the left sidebar. In this case 170px by 1 px.
Fill the image with the disired choice of color and save it. Then add this background
style to the wrapper section of style.css. The 0 0 after repeat-y is in persentages of
location from the left of the left sidebar. In other words if it was 50% 0 it would've
displayed in the middel of your page. This background is usually in the body section
of your theme, however I am using the Barlow theme that also has a wrapper section. That's
why I've included it in the wrapper section of my theme's style.css.

#wrapper {
background: #ece9d8 url(bgsidebar.png) repeat-y 0 0;
border: 2px solid #ccc;
}
