How do i get the background to conintue down the length of the page!

[privettl]

Hi,

I am currently creating a CSS layout and it has at current 2 columns a left and middle and i want the left with a background of gray to continue down the whole length of the page no matter how long it is. e.g. if the middle column was longer then the left should become the same length. I haven’t a clue how to!

Can anyone help? Cheers in advance!

Hi,

you have several options to achive this effect. Take a look at this: Equal Height Columns using CSS or the article by Chris Fluid Width Equal Height Columns.

Hope this helped.

Hi, try setting the columns parent to overflow:auto

You probably figured it out by now, but if you make the

 background-position:fixed; 

into the css for the correct id/class the grey background will stay there whenever someone scrolls.
