creating a background image for the right hand column

Posted by jamesgrayking on November 9, 2009 at 9:02pm

I am trying to get a background image to repeat down the right-hand side and was able to using normal css rules for this. It stops as soon as the blocks stop having content however and using firebug i then see that there is technically no third column after the content (in this case the search box) stops. How could i force the bg to go the whole way down to the footer?

Many thanks

Add a min-height?

Posted by djax80 on November 11, 2009 at 11:31am

Not sure if this helps but could you add a min-height to the class?

.right-column (or whatever the class is called)
{
height: 10em;
min-height:10em;
max-height:20em;
background:url('your-bg.gif')repeat-y;
}

any help?
