Im try make a site have a variable height depending on how much content put in there.

Like on this site it has a shadow at the each side of the layout, this is a image? but how to you repeat that image so it keeps on going down the page when you add more contents?

That shadow is a background image on the containing div. Use repeat-y to get the image to repeat only vertically, repeat-x to get it to repeat only horizontally. Look up CSS background properties and experiment.

It should just do that. Unless you're doing something really weird with your code. Can you show us what you're working on?

It would be better to see a working web page URL.

You're going to have problems with this because everything is absolutely positioned. You need to learn to code this properly.

Eeek, this is one of the problems of using ImageReady to create the code for you: it's not very good at it. The design will break and it's impossible to update it.

I had a brief look at your code but would say it's impossible without completely re-writing all of it. You really do need to know HTML to create Web pages, am not trying to be patronising, just telling you the truth I'm afraid. Sad
