Hello,
go to solidwebs.net look at the twitter box, if the tweet is long enough the box doesnt view all of it.

I need the box to expand vertically with it, i know it should be done by making the sides as a bg with repeat Y, but i dont know how to do it, any help will be appreciated

Try this:

.ts-1-7 { //style.css (line 437)
border:medium none;
height:auto;
left:108px;
padding:0;
position:absolute;
top:56px;
width:174px;
}

Good luck!

Actually what is needed is that the css and html is rewritten so that the borders are a bg with repeat-Y, so that when its expanded the borders still work, but i dont knwo how to do that

Take a look at this tutorial, it's about rounded corners but you can use the same method for you tweet box:
