    Double column background

    I'm working on a little something for my dad and have a question. I have
    a background graphic which repeats-y down the left side of the page. I
    want to get the exact same thing down the right side as well. See the
    page and you should see what I mean. How might that work?

    Page is here: http://members.tdn.com/ajhess/andy/index.html
    css is here: http://members.tdn.com/ajhess/andy/andy.css

    Thanks for your time, Aron

          sweet, thanks for the quick reply. I knew it had to be something simple,
          I just couldn't figure it out. About the hover, you're right. The
          novelty of it wears off quick. Thanks again, Aron

              After playing with it a bit more, I used position:float; on the columns
              and they did exactly what I wanted in a standards compliant browser.
              Then I looked at in IE and boy oh boy, was it screwed up. That made me
              sad. looks like I'll have to figure out something else to make it look
              the best. BTW, Bruce, I know what you said in the comments about
              adjusting the columns (as best as possible) to the height of the
              content, but different resolutions would whack that way out. I'll keep
              working on it. Thanks, Aron

                      Which one? Yours, brucie, or the float version? Anyway, yours works on my
                      IE5 as well. One drawback, however: when I make my window narrow enough, the
                      right div will cover the main contents and no scrolling will help to bring
                      the hidden parts back into view. Any remedy?

                          i mentioned min-width in the source but its not supported by IE.
                          IE sucks. i suppose you could z-index the content div so at least it
                          would go over the right div.

                              I'll try that for my own site - so far I have made a table layout, now I'll
                              try to do it without tables...
