Hi, when I add a larger length article to my site the background colour falls short near the bottom of the page showing only an ugly grey, i've done a bit of googling & it looks like I need to 'extend the height to 100%' but Im not sure where & exactly what to input. I don't really have any html skills but can input what needs doing in the admin section of the site. I think this is the part of the code that needs changing but Im unsure, if anyone could help me out that would be brilliant as it looks very unsightly in places at the moment!


</p></div></div></td><td width="20">*</td></tr> </tbody> </table></td></tr> <tr><td height="5" auto="" center="" background-position:="" background-attachment:="" background-repeat:="" content-bot.gif="" images="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">*</td></tr> </tbody> </table><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="900"> <tbody> <tr> <td>*</td><td>*</td><td align="right">*</td><td align="right">*</td></tr> </tbody> </table> </body></html>

      Ah, I can't post all the source due to post count & it containing href links, the site is carcleaningguru.com if you could look at the source code, it's build originally with a membership site software so the layout code it pretty much the same for every page, thanks.

    In your style.css you need to put body background-color: #f8fcff

    Like this:

    background: #f8fcff url(../images/background.jpg) repeat-x;

    instead of this:

    background: #333 url(../images/background.jpg) repeat-x;
