Aha! Don't give up! Assumption wrong...
I took some screen shots, and yes:
* the corner box has a height of 765px (in resolution 1024x768,
font-size normal in FF),
* the box_bottomleft.gif and box_bottomright.gif are 700px in height,
* we can see a gap of 65px at the top (for the images are
positioned at the bottom of the div).
* ;-)
Can be solved in 2 ways:
1. extending the images in height, for the method is based upon
images as high as the max. box you need.
2. using repeated-y images of 1px height for the left and right
borders (and appropriate css).
This is exactly the reason why I prefer the method 2 template: always
self-adapting, no worry about a new page which can have more height as
the page you developed the "big images" for, - which appear to be not
big enough.
As I said 13-08 (or 08-13):

Method 2 is used in my earlier testpage c
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-betting-c.htm>.
I used that page (exactly the the same css) to paste a long "form" in
it: testpage d
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-betting-d.htm>.
