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! Sam |

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: Code:
