I'm in the process of converting a 3 column table layout to CSS. I've got it working almost perfectly in IE but in Firefox there's a problem. The layout involves a 100% width DIV with a banner image. Under that is 3 DIVs - The left most has an image that should be repeating down the left side of the screen. The next DIV has the menu and also has a repeating background image. The right most DIV is the main content DIV. The problem is the backgrounds for the two left most DIVs do not repeat down to where the content DIV finishes on the screen, they just stop in the middle of nowhere. Any suggestions, ideas? Code is below:
