height: 100%;

That doesn't mean 100% of the document.

In your case, it's coming out to be 100% of the viewport. Leave height
out and the background may adjust fine all by itself.

BTW, I can't read the text in those navigation graphics, it's much too
small. The page also does not adjust so well to a larger text size -
much of the text in the upper right corner disappears.

thank you kchayka, i followed your advice and removed the "height:
100%;" value. only at div.bgTextboxLeft and div.bgTextboxRight i left
the 100% because the contained background.gif would not tile at all
otherwise.

strangely enough this does not work with the following document, which
is more or less the same code:

the referring CSS is here:

Do you have an idea what's wrong here?

You haven't really explained what you think the problem is, but I will
hazard a guess that you want that box thingy in the middle to extend
down to the bottom of the viewport, or the bottom of the page, whichever
is longer.

I suggest you stop wanting this. But if you insist, search the google
archives for this group. The subject certainly comes up often enough.

I managed to conceive sort of what i wanted with a background image.
but you were right, i wanted something unconceivable - at least with
my approach ; )
