Hello!   I am trying to lay out a left navigation column with a
background image, where the left nav column runs the entire scrolled
height/length of the page.  The float:left column layout works fine, but
the background image doesn't continue downward in this column below the
links.  I tried this in FireFox 1.0.7 and IE6, but this image stops
where the last link stops.  I want the background all the way to the bottom.

How can I force the background image to repeat all the way down the left
column even if there are no links or text displayed in this area?
Thanks in advance for any input on this issue.

My css ---->

#left-navigation-column {
 float:left;
 background-image:url("background.gif");
 background-repeat: repeat-y;
 width:150px;
