The problem is, I have set the height of this div tag to auto, using CSS. But when I view the page in the web browser, the background doesn't fill the entire div tag. It does expand as the div tag expands, but there is a small section at the bottom of the div tag where there is no background, so the background colour doesn't fill the div tag entirely.

 

This is the CSS code I have for this div tag.

 

#textnoimage {
position: relative;
width: 995px;
height: auto;
overflow: visible;
float: top;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
min-height: 100px;
background-color: #FFF;
padding-left: 5px;
color: #000;
}

Could someone tell me what I need to do to fix this please?

 

Thank you for your help.

It's hard to help without a link/picture or without seeing your HTML.

 

Have you tried setting your height to 100% rather than auto?

 

If you can post a pic as well as your HTML then that would be more useful.

EDIT: Just realized your not using a background image so please disregard my suggestion below.

As Alluziion said it's hard to help without seeing the code. maybe you have a background-repeat:none propperty assigned to all your div tags or on a class that your div shares. try this:

background-repeat:repeat;

The float property doesn't have a value "top". Or am I missing something?

Yeah the CSS isn't great... they also have "top" and "left" both with the value of 0px whilst it's being positioned relatively which more or less does nothing... they should change the positioning to absolute although this shouldn't be necessary either if they doing it right.

Yes, it would be best if the op post a link or an image

Is there another DIV or content interfering perhaps? Check z-index stuff maybe?

Thank you for your help everyone, I can't seem to find out what the problem is, so I've decided to start all over again and see if I can do it again without this problem.

I didn't get very far with it, so I won't be wasting much time.
