 * Hi
 * I’m sorry if this is already discussed.
 * I’m having some trouble with getting a repeating background for a list. I want
   a list in the footer using ul and li and I want a background to repeat, as the
   list is constantly expanded. However, it seems that I need to define the height
   of the ul, which prevents the background to repeat any further than this…
 * How can I get the background to repeat like the body background?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * without a link to your site, the only advice is to increase your general css 
   knowledge by working through available online turorials –
    [http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp)

 * OK.
 * I’ve gone throught this and other tuts but it doesn’t work so I guess I’ve messed
   up the stylesheet. The site is under construction locally, so I don’t have a 
   link.
 * Thanks for your help.
