background image doesnt repeat.

[abcohen]

I've been trying to resolve this issue for over 40 hours.

I have tried everything in the world - I think can think of - or that google has displayed in searches I've tried.

I'm trying to have 3 images display - a header - an image/div background image that would display for the length of the blog - and a footer

the header and footer are correct... but the background image/div isnt repeating when set position:absolute; when set to position:fixed; it does display but then wont scroll correctly with the other elements.

<snip>

currently its a white background where that image should be repeating.

if I change the z-index to make it on top of the all the content it'll still end at the same point - it wont continue beyond that point.

Please help :) thanks.

The easiest is to fist remove the offending image and replace it with a solid background color that stands out: odds are it too will not go down as far as you want it, indicating the element does not have the size you think it has.

Fix that and/or pick a more appropriate element.

Only if you get the solid color where you need it, switch back to the background image and its repeating.
