One way I have seen people do this is just to use an appropriate background image, and then repeat it. This way it will fill the whole screen.

Okay. I will try and look that up. I know how to do a background image but am not sure how to repeat it in CSS.

Do you have an example?

Much gracias. I was not sure on the repeat command. Are there are other options if you just want a vertical repeat?

Anyways I just tested this with a different image and it seems to work. Now I need to make one the right color. Do you think this goes any slower?

I was having the same problem on one of my sites the other day, and I racked my brain to figure it out. And I ended up just leaving it and going to bed (I had been up most of the night). Then I popped in here and say this! Thanks for the info! Smile

This will be like a life saver. Know maybe my site will look cool for a change. Smile
