Dynamic nav_bg.jpg?

I have changed my site background to white and have the left navigation background blue. It looks great when someone is signed in, but as a 'guest' the background is too big because the links on the left side change. What is the best way to change the nav_bg.jpg to adjust for whomever is viewing it? I've tried a few different ways, but none seem to work correctly. Thank you.

Is it possible to share a link to better see what you are explaining...thanks

Try removing the height from your #left_navigation div in the css:

Find:

Code:

#left_navigation {
    float: left;
    width: 207px;
    background: url('http://cruiserclassifieds.com/templates/deepsea/images/nav_bg.png') no-repeat;
    height: 494px;
}

Replace with:

Code:

#left_navigation {
    float: left;
    width: 207px;
    background: url('http://cruiserclassifieds.com/templates/deepsea/images/nav_bg.png') no-repeat;
}

Let me know if that works...thanks

Sorry, no luck. I removed 'height', and it still appears to be too long.

Ok...I looked a little closer and it appears that you have the <div style="margin: 30px;"></div> within the <div id="left_navigation"></div>...it should be below the <div id="left_navigation"></div> within the <div id="content_left"></div>. Make sure to leave the height out as noted above.

So, I'm thinking the content should roll out as follows:

Code:

<div id="content_left">
<div id="left_navigation">Content</div>
<div style="margin: 30px;">Content</div>
</div>

Hopefully that works...let us know

Freeze2, worked like a charm! Thank you so much for your help, it would have taken me forever to figure that out.

Thanks for the update...good luck with the site
