CSS tag to stop an image continuing!

    Hi Everyone,

    I want my sidebar image to reach the bottom of my page and stay there!

    I set my css up so it repeats to the bottom of my longest page, the problem is that where I have other shorter pages the image continues on!

    My Stylesheet currently reads:

    Code (markup):

    I posted a similar topic a while back, but never quite got the answer. I have heard a wrapper div could help me but I don't seem to have a wrapper and I don't know what one is!

    If anyone could give me a snippet of code that would solve the problem i'd love it!

    Many thanks!
