Greetings all,
I've been away from CSS design for a few months and find that I seem to have
forgotten how to do something I used to do in my sleep. My problem is this. I
have a simple 2-column layout. The html tag is formatted to black and the body
tag, which is intended to also function as my wrapper, is formatted to white
/*and*/ has a background image which I want to repeat down the left-hand
side. (Granted right now white on white has no practical use but I'm planning for
something else on another page and need this to work first.)
The problem is this. The body doesn't seem to be extending downward as I add
the other divs. I need it to because I need that white background to come all
the way down so that none of the html, black background shows through. And
I'll need the image border to work for subsequent pages. Would one of you kind
folks take a look at it and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The CSS is here: http://www.byronsbyte.com/bernard/css/layout.css
And the definition that I can't seem to find anything wrong with is the body
tag which looks like this:
body /*white widget image*/
{
background:#fff url(../images/backgrounds/body-1_fff.jpg)
left top repeat-x; /* center on vertical repeat white */
width:99%;
margin:auto;
padding:0;
text-align:center; /* center body */
}
