Hi, can someone please make me a tutorial, or link me to a tutorial, that explains this...

On CMS's and stuff when you write a new peice of news it comes out in a box, with images around it.
If the piece of news is long then the box is bigger, and if its shorter then the box is shorter.

Can someone please explain the CSS of this and how i would do this please.
I would google it, but i dont know what to search for..

Thanks

Its a repeating background, the box will expand with the content.

+------------------------+
+	top image	  +
+------------------------+
+						+
+	  content		+<===== repeating background image#
+						+
+-----------------------+
+   bottom images	 +
+-----------------------+

Hope that helps!

background: [color] url( [url] ) [position] [repeat-(none|x|y)];

I would suggest taking this tutorial from start to finish:

It will explain how to make a repeating content box.

Its basically like creating a layout. You do the same but with just the one box. Then after you've sliced it you code it to be an expandable table. Atleast i think thats what you need anyway. Hope it helps.
