I'm fooling around with a 3 column design all in css. If I tyle an image in my left or right nav it does not stretch with my center content. It will stretch if I put content in the side nav, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. even with a 100% height in the nav container it only stretches as far as the content goes. How do I fix this.

Basically it's just a container, header, left nav, right nav, footer. both side navs have a fixed width and background image repeating y. Like I said, the tyling works fine if I add content to the side navs, but won't stretch with my center content.

That's because, seeing as how you are doing CSS design, you deifferent sections or most likely in <div> tags. They're pretty much independant of each other, unlike table cells. The only way I can see of doing this is to specify a height for them. They won't stretch all the way, but they'll stretch part way at least!

I found how I need to do it. I have to set the image to repeat in the container, or have mutliple containers to stretch all the way, and then change my other divs so they don't all show the same background.

Thanks for they reply though.
