are you trying to center the vertical line betwwen your two columns as per this thread [webmasterworld.com]..
try "centering" the position of the background image itself using percentages to match your column widths rather than margining the div it's on, i.e. leave the #bg div at 100% wide in the background just move the image..
e.g.
#bg {
background-image: url(imgs/vert.jpg);
background-position: 48% 0; /* adjust to fit between your columns */
background-repeat:repeat-y;
/* margin-left: 195px; */
}
#col1{
width: 47%;
float: left;
}
#col2{
margin-left: 50%;
}
any help?
