ok so i am trying to make my background of which is not an image but a colour repeat itself to the bottom of the page… at the moment its just auto sizing to the text.

I put background-repeat: repeat-y; but when i try it in Ie, Firefox and Opera it doesnt do any difference…

Why is this. Does this code only work with images? please please please help
