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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Claudiu RADUT Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 4:38 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org 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?
