This is really fairly cool... _____________________________ Follow us on TWITTER (in reply to paul rayner)

The stuff Stu produces on that site is brilliant - but a fair bit of it isn't for practical day to day use. I'd split the graphic into 3 - have the top bit as a background for something at the top of the div - like a heading. The side lines would be the background for the div itself. The bottom bit would be the background for something at the bottom of the div - if you've just got a load of paragraphs then give the last one a class and attach the background. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to paul rayner)

This method will expand with the content and works on IE6, IE7, FF and Opera (haven't checked any others). _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to Tailslide)

That's niiiice Tail! Wombley likey! I guess by splitting the image down more (though not making it half as complicated as Stu's example), you could probably get it to work as a liquid layout. Hmmmm...I might have to have a play with that later... < Message edited by womble -- 11/9/2008 5:37:36 > _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.
