Just before the “rap” closing div try putting another empty div with id=”clearer” and define it as follows:
#clearer {
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
And put the repeating background in the “rap” div.

Thanks Matt … but still not working. #rap has the same problem as before — no background whatsoever. Oh, I checked out your site. You’re in Ottawa?

gregor I just saw your site in Firefox and it is going to be a really neat piece of design. Congratulations and welcome to WordPress. I am reading your CSS if I see anything I will post.
Above was me. In you css your #content bg is commented out. Plus the bg is only set for repeat y. I do not know how big your graphic is but I did notice you also have repeat y in the rap. Its going to be one of those two things or both.
Also I couldn’t help noticing you are using Tantek’s voicebox hack. I do not know it in any detail but it looks to me as though there is a bit missing. Don’t we need to do something after the hack to counteract it in other browsers (or something). HTH.
gregor, if you put the repeating background in the “rap” div and leave in the “clearer” div, everything will be fine.
I have a similar problem, at least with IE and Safari on OS X. It doesn’t seem to be an issue with Firefox. My site is at: http://www.patrioticearthling.com. If you click on ‘activism,’ you’ll see that the background jpg not only doesn’t repeat, but you only see a sliver of it. I tried putting the repeat code in the “rap” div; that didn’t work. I wanted to try the “clearer” tag, but I can’t find the rap closing div. I am new to WordPress and not a CSS or PHP genius, so perhaps I’m overlooking the obvious.
I’ve got this working correctly on mine by setting the background for Body…. rather than the Content div tag.
