looping graphics

Is there some sort of script that could be written that would keep printing a graphic untill it reaches the bottom of the page (the bottom of the page being defined by some other content on the site)???

Unless that "other content" has a computable height, you're going to have a very difficult time writing any sort of server-side script that does this since the height will be computed by the browser based on user font sizes, window size, etc.

I'd suggest using CSS's background-repeat functionality.

yeah. your aproach is probably wrong. i would also recommend css.

describe (or even draw) exactly what you want to achive, and we will try help you...

What I'd like to do is have layout that divides up the page kinda like this....

and this part would extened based on the amount of content. I would really like to not use frames for this.

ASCII graphics didn't make this any clearer. Maybe you could post an image of what you want.

ok, heres a link to the site in development http://www.captainsupreme.com/home.php I would like the vertical checkers to be able to dynamicly extend to the size of the "main content"

Make an image that only has 2x2 tiles (instead of 2x60 you have now), and set is as the background of the <td> in question... make sure you put &nbsp; in it
