bakcground image in sidebar stops repeating at a certain point

Post by compufairy »

Hi all,

My brain's churning on this matter:

I have a repating image in my sidebar, which works fine most of the time. But for some reason on this page: http://www.pwpf.nl/2009/index.php?page= ... o_websites the repeatiing simply breaks off. It's as if there is limited space for the content or something... I can't find what I do wrong in the css code.

Can anyone help me find the solution to this?

Thanks!

Here's the CSS:
/*****************
browsers interpret margin and padding a little differently,
we'll remove all default padding and margins and
set them later on
******************/
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

/*
Set initial font styles
*/
body {
   text-align: left;
   font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 75.01%;
   line-height: 1em;
}

/*
set font size for all divs,
this overrides some body rules
*/
div {
   font-size: 1em;
}

/*
if img is inside "a" it would have
borders, we don't want that
*/
img {
   border: 0;
}

/*
default link styles
*/
/* set all links to have underline and bluish color */
a,
a:link
a:active {
   text-decoration: underline;
/* css validation will give a warning if color is set without background color. this will explicitly tell this element to inherit bg colour from parent element */
   background-color: inherit;
   color: #999966;
}

a:visited {
   text-decoration: underline;
   background-color: inherit;
  color: #999966;                /* a different color can be used for visited links */
