I am helping my lecturer to edit the html on this page however we need to make the background fit to the end of the screen and for what ever reason I cannot for the life of me get it to work even after following tutorials to do it, and playing endlessly in firebug.

Can anyone help?

No it's not if you make the window bigger than the content so there are no scroll bars with a bg image attached to the body element it cuts out. If you do it to the HTML tag same thing happens but in reverse the content blocks out the background there's no way to have it stretch the body and div to 100% height?
 
I managed to fix there being a white bar across the bottom in the last 30 mintues but now the issue is that the middle (white) column doesnt go to the end of the page on screens where the column is not as long as the window, hard to produce but on my 24" iMac it happens.
 
Yeah I fixed that it was messed up because or a
Misplaced bgcolor however issuen now is that the column doesn't stretch to the full height of the window if the window is bigger than the content.
 
LOL who actually has any justifiable reason for using IE why can't Microsoft just give up on their pointless browser war and use a mozila or webkit based engine with the IE name and then the whole issue is gone, and Microsoft look good for being standards compliant and supporting web standards, and they will port over activeX or what ever makes IE special to be a plug-in for the relevant browsers.

I think I will let my lecturer fix those issues, are you refering to the background of the two menu's and the mangled footer text?
