Hi Claudia,

I haven't looked at the site, but it sounds like you need to add a clearing
element before closing <content>. There are a number of ways to do this, the
easiest being to create a class called something like .clear {clear:both;}.
Stick it in your html right before closing the content div like so:

<div class="clear"></div>
</div> <!-- closes content -->

IE doesn't require this, but just about everything else does.

Hope this helps

Subject: [WSG] two column content problem


Hi everyone!

I so much hate when I have to ask stupid questions, but I really can`t
figure out what`s wrong with this page I`m working on. What I`m trying
to do is divide the content in two columns, one with the main texts and
such and the other one with details regarding the page. They are
contained in a larger div called "content" which has the background an
image that repeats itself on the y axis. The problem is that the
background is not extended to cover the content of  the larger column. I
have no idea why this happens. It looks ok on IE6/Win, but not in
Firefox 1.0.1.

The URL for the page is http://claudius.dap.ro/smv/index.htm and the URL
for the stylesheet is http://claudius.dap.ro/smv/style.css

Any ideas please? Thank you
Clau
