I am having trouble allowing the #subnav div to repeat vertically down the page. I am not specifying a height and am using background-repeat:repeat-y; It only repeats down to the <img>'s within the list and no further. I tried putting a div that "clear:both;" within the #subnav but it did not seem to do anything. Is it possible to repeat a div vertically that contains no content or very little content at that?

<a href="../index.html"><img src="../img/icon.gif" class="logo"/></a>

<div id="name"><a href="../index.html"><img src="../img/tracicook.gif" class="name"/></a></div>
<div id="float">
<div id="subnav">
