[thelist] CSS positioning problem

My problem involves floated divs inside a wrapper div. The floated divs do
not seem to inherit the background image of the wrapper div, giving a column
effect to the page. When I use one float, the background image goes only so
far as the div with the most content, as depicted in the error image (read
on).

It breaks in various browsers such as Mozilla, IE5 Mac, Safari, Netscape 6.

It works in IE6 Windows and Opera 7 for Windows.

Does anyone know how to correctly write the CSS for this kind of effect? I
know I need to use at least one float, but when I do, the error comes out
like this:

Thanks for any help!
