Hia,
I'm trying to get a repeating image running along the bottom of the screen, starting when the central text stops. I feel I'm close...

the code I've got now is;

.centralbranches {
	position: absolute;
	left: 220px;
	top: 190;
	width: 65%;
	background-color: #EEDCF5;

	}
#centralbranchestext{
	margin-left: 6%;
	margin-right: 8%;
	margin-top: 40;
	margin-bottom: 259;
	z-index:10;

	color: #333333;
}
#branchesbot{
	background-image: url(Background/BranchBottoms.gif);
	position: absolute;
	height: 259px;
	width: 100%;
	bottom: 0px;
	clear: both;
	float: left;

}
<div class="centralbranches"> 
  <div id="centralbranchestext"> 
...copy...


  </div>
 <div id="branchesbot"></div>
</div>

any help much appreciated

Research the "background-image" and "background-repeat" CSS declarations.

Edit: sorry, I see you are using background-image . But "background-repeat" is likely what you want instead of float/clear.

Thanks Mr. Greer but I tried the 'background-repeat' and couldn't get it to work. Below is the best I could get... not very elegant but seems to work for IE and Firefox:

#branchesbot{
	background-image: url(Background/BranchBottoms.gif);
	position: absolute;
	height: 277px;
	bottom: 0px;
	width:158%;
	left:-227px;
	margin-bottom:-9px;
}

cheers
