Thanks heaps Neal. That's a great suggestion.

Now if only there was a way to get the black to stretch right to the
bottom of the viewport if the page is less than one screen high... I
think I'm pushing my luck a bit there though.

Thanks again.

This is a little clever... have not tested.

Wrap your content in a div, set height: 100%. Set a background image
(white on left, the rest black) for that div which is 1px high and say
2000px wide. (Wider than you need it to be.) Set it to repeat-y.

Won't that result in scroll-bars?

Where in the CSS spec is "repeat-y" mentioned?

Not for a background. Shouldn't, anyway...

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html for all of this.
