What is the maximum pixel height a div can be displayed? I have a long list and my bg div ends halfway down the page.

  1. bodyBG {
   background: url("../../includes/img/template/bg_trans.png") repeat-y scroll center top transparent;
   overflow: auto;
   padding: 5px 25px;
   margin: 0px;
   text-align: left;

}

My background image bg_trans.png is ending halfway down my html list. Why?

On Windows there might be a height limit of around 32000px.

Darn! My list is at 72k in FF 21.0 :(

Would re-displaying that BG for another 32735px work? Or is that just literally the maximum height that can be displayed?

Thanks for your help
