div repeat background problem

  #1  
May 2nd, 2008
hi guys,

i am currently facing one problem whereby i have a div container with a background-image and i want the background to automatically repeat as the inner divs contents expands. However, if i do not specify any height to the container, the background does not repeat at all even though the inner divs contents are expanding.

here's what i did

Help with Code Tags 
#container
{
    background-image: url(...);
}

#inner
{
    top: 10px;
    left: 25px;
    position: absolute;
}

when my contents in the inner div grows, the container background does not repeat to cover, i have also tried setting the container height to auto but it doesnt work, if i set height to 100 then it repeats the background for a 100px..

please help.. my html are as follows:

Help with Code Tags 
<div id="container">
    <div id="inner">
        the contents are all here
    </div>
</div>
