Need CSS Layout Help [resolved]
I am trying to create a layout for my website but am having problems with the CSS that I am using. My Code is below and the image that I am using is attached. Can you tell me how to get the image that I have at the left to continue on down the page until it hits the bottom footer? I have been playing with for a while and cant see me get it to work.
Thanks for your help

my mind that all this hacking is being caused by the mighty Gecko engine! (shakes head ruefully)
