not quite 100%?

[bluewalrus]

Is there a way to make html,body extend the height to 90%? I have a background image on html and i want it to be framed by the body i want 35px on the top and bottom. But when i do 100% it ignores my bottom padding so i took it out but now my pages that don't have a lot of content look dumb. http://www.travelinchucks.com/qa.php. But this one looks fine cause theres enough content http://www.travelinchucks.com/index.html if you go to the bottom you'll see how i want the bottoms of the others to look here.

Thanks for any help you have or can offer.

couldn't you just use this?

body {
height:90%;
}

no, its set as that now and doesn't appear to make a difference...
