pcguy Posts: 137 From: None Status: offline	Strange behavior - need help - 5/23/2008 11:04:11 Hi all, I have a backround image defined here: body, html { height:100%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(images/background.jpg) repeat-y top; margin: 0px; padding:0px; } The problem is, my main content is in a centered table, and each page obviously has different amount of content...the weird thing is, the background image shifts up and down a bit on each page, depending on how long the table is (with content). If I manually put in a bunch of <p> tags so each table exceeds a certain height, the background image is fine, and doesn't move... But I need it to stay in the same place no matter the table content.... Any ideas???? Thanks!

First off, why height 100%? 100% of what? It makes no sense to specify 100% of something which is variable. Repeat-y top? you don't need the top. It automatically starts at the top. Try this: body, html { margin: 0; padding:0; border:0; } body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; background-image: url(images/background.jpg) repeat-y; } _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to pcguy)
