CSS DIV Heights!

[smriyaz]

Hi folks,
I switched to CSS layouts from old table layouts one year back. But there is a problem I always face is DIV heights. I mean, if I do a content box is a table cell (even with a bg image) the height will be adjusted according to the contents placed on it (even I can define a minimum height with css) but how can I make a content DIV or a DIV with a tiling bg image, to auto stretch in height?
It could be great if I can define a minimum height for the particular DIV (so the content box will maintain a minimum standard height) and if more contents are inserted in future, the DIV should stretch automatically to accommodate all. and the bg tiling also will not be effected.
Is there any rules or workarounds for this? Kindly help me in this.
Thanking you.

i think you should assign an auto value to height and no repeat to background image like this :
height: auto;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Thanks marSoul, but I need the bg to be tiled through the end of content DIV. so I can add a shadow border or something like that. anyways I'll try with height:auto for the height problem.

if you want ur background to be repeated, enter :
background-repeat: repeat;
