Background image repeat-y not showing

Question

I have done a search here without success.
I have a rough setup of a site that will show the background
repeat-y in a div in IE but will not display it in firefox or
safari.
My css and and xhtml validate W3C.
I am no pro and have tried several things I can think of
without any luck.
Here is the url

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The problem was that the div on which the background image
was applied was
collapsing around its non-floated descendents. You needed to
do something
to clear those floats before closing the div#innerwrapper.
The
'overflow:hidden' style forces the browser to establish a new
block context
for that div, effectively clearing the floats within, and
allowing the div
to wrap even the floated elements.
