Hello, I just joined this wonderful place it seems to be a very comfortable place for web designer, especially for beginners like me. Anyway.

I really need help on extending my page ( where you put texts in etc ) because when I put lots of things in it like writing and pictures they will go past where the page ends ( the footer ).

I have tried the css code height:100%; it seems to do the trick, except if I have a gradient background fill for the page, it looks like it is just repeating.

Can anybody tell me how to to prevent this from happening?

I am familiar with photoshop and I never do like plain web pages I like them filled with neat graphics.

Thanks in advanced.
