Hi all, I've been trying for the past couple of days to create a simple layout with a column spanning down the entire length of right side of the webpage. Just a big block of blue basically going from top to bottom. Doesn't sound very complicated but I've been banging my head against it for so long everything is just a blur now. Basically, I tried what I figured was right: create a div spanning from top to bottom and make it's background that colour. Done deal, simple enough. Turns out it wasnt.
I just couldn't get the div to work out right, so I figured, hey, might as well just use the background attribute of the body tag, make a 180px by 1px image and get it set as the background of the body and do repeat-y on it. Should have worked also. It didn't. The body apparently stops when the initial viewport ends. (Or at least it does in Firefox 1.5 on Slackware) So if the content is longer, you get scroll bars and as soon as you scroll the column ends. Pretty weird. Now, the question is simple: if height: 100% doesn't work, and using the body as the hook doesn't work, what else is there to try? The html tag's hook is unavailable since I have another background on that already. (Incidently, that one does span the entire page...) Feel free to look at the site at: http://205.251.6.78/nlac/index.html I don't necessarily like how the site looks, but it's being done for a client who already knew what they wanted so I'm pretty much stuck with it. However, they also knew they wanted the sidebar, and I can't seem to be able to figure that one out. Thanks for any help, René A.
