The Background Banner and Internet Explorer
If you use this trick to make background banners on your own Web pages, you should probably make them at least 2,000 pixels high. The page can actually become longer than 1,000 pixels when someone uses Microsoft Internet Explorer's largest font size setting. Note that the wainscoting shows up again at the very bottom of the page.

Press the Web Page button to see exactly how this would look.
