CSS tag to stop an image continuing!

Hi Everyone,

I want my sidebar image to reach the bottom of my page and stay there!

I set my css up so it repeats to the bottom of my longest page, the problem is that where I have other shorter pages the image continues on!

My Stylesheet currently reads:

Code:

I posted a similar topic a while back, but never quite got the answer. I have heard a wrapper div could help me but I don't seem to have a wrapper and I don't know what one is!

If anyone could give me a snippet of code that would solve the problem i'd love it!

You can visit the html site at: Natural Energy Directory

Many thanks!

Let me know if i'm wrong but it just looks to me that the background image for the side menu is just a solid color.

How about just setting it to background-color: #9AD9EA;

Yes and no

Thanks for your swift reply, if I set it to a background color i'd still have the same problem since then it would only be as long as the links last in the sidebar.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Sam

It's always been an issue with div heights. You can try a couple of things. I don't have my computer in front of me so I attached is a hash up txt file of a fix using javascript. Of course the javascript will have to be on every page.

You can also check out THIS tutorial to fix it up in css/div containers.

Your pages also contain a bunch of coding errors. It will more than likely benefit from troubleshooting them using the following links:

Hope this helps.
