Hi Heather,

Have a look here:
http://www.mako4css.com/cssbg.htm
Actually go through the whole site - it is a good starting point for css
stuff -

I am in the middle of writing a style sheet right now and this is what I am
using in my stylesheet for a left column of a table... I have used an ID
called leftcol and apply this ID to the <td> of my table.

#leftcol{
background-color: #5C94D1F;
/*use an image to keep NS happy */
background-image: url(../m2img/entrypage/leftcolback.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
padding: 0px 2px;
margin: 0px;
}

Not sure if this helps.

Nadia
