The client wants the page to have both a left border (purple) and a right
border (green).
Is there any way to stretch a background image to fit the viewport? Or
should I divide
the background into columns, each a different color?

I was unclear. By "border" I meant the sort of border+backgrou nd you see
here:
http://www.pambytes.com/borders/paper/index1.html
(example chosen by random googling). The client wants quite a wide colored
band
running down each side of the viewport.
Erm, why would you use an image for borders?
Because they want something wide (and later I suspect they will want
textures, etc.). Also,
IE5.5 (at least) puts a body border (as in your example) outside the scroll
bar.
While googling I found this example: http://www.bigbaer.com/css_tutorials...css.template.h
tm
and am looking at the code in the hopes I can alter it to be useful.

Replying to myself, I've put *something* together here: http://www.alternateuniverses.com/test/anetry.html
Do I need to use a box hack on my "main" division to get it to go up to the
top of the screen
in IE6.0? It looks just right in IE5.5.

Nothing happens. "Operation timed out..." Server problems?

body {

}

Textured, you say? I suppose images could be used for that. You can
use a background image, 1 pixel high, and use repeat-vertical to have
it run down the page. But you can only have 1 background image for
any given element. You'll have to patch something together for the
other border.
Also, IE5.5 (at least) puts a body border (as in your example)
outside the scroll bar.
Have you tried putting a div inside the body, and applying the borders
to the div? You'd have to set height: 100%; mind, I haven't tested
that idea.

There is a margin-top to the h1. Is that the problem? If not, please
elaborate.

Would you consider fixing your sig? Put "-- " (note the space) on a
line by itself, then put your sig below it. Proper sig delimiters
make replying easier.

Hi Mary, an easy solution could be this if you have to use
graphics borders. CSS part:
<style type="text/css">
html, html>body{
height: 100%;
/*just added for testing purpose even with blank page in
Opera and Mozilla, remove it when you've filled up the page*/
}
body{
background: url("leftborder .gif") top left repeat-y
}
div#main{
background: url("rightborde r.gif") top right repeat-y;
margin: 0 100px;
}
</style>
and in the html:
<body>
<div id="main">
<!-- put all content here -->
</div>
</body>
Note the right and left margin should have at least same width
of the background images.
HTH,
SantaKlauss
Hi Mary,
just a little thing to add: if you want the body background-color to
be set, and I suppose you would, just have to add the color in the body
background shorthand and leave the main content with transparent
background, like this:
body{
background: #69C url("leftborder .gif") top left repeat-y
}
div#main{
background: transparent url("rightborde r.gif") top right repeat-y;
margin: 0 100px
}
HTH,
SantaKlauss
Ooops, sorry: have to use padding instead of margin.
body{
background: #69C url("leftborder .gif") top left repeat-y
}
div#main{
background: transparent url("rightborde r.gif") top right repeat-y;
padding: 0 100px
}

I have a design of a frameless page on my practice website:
http://home.ne.rr.com/thespar/designerN.htm
The idea is to have a #left navigation bar which is absolutely positioned
and which contains a series of vertical placed unordered lists of links. To
the right of the #left navigation bar is the #content section. I want the
background in the #left section to extend to the bottom of the browser
window.

I am relatively new to CSS and HTML but have a basic understanding of most things.
One of my backgrounds is not positioning correctly in IE 7 or AOL. The background behind the content (small chocolate area) is positioning slightly down the page instead of at the top.
