Thanks Dave
The link for that is http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ But its not working for me, my CSS for the nav area is as follows div#navigation_bg { position: absolute; width: 230px; height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; top: 20px; right: 100px; background-color: #FFD400; background-image: url(../images/nav_bg2.gif) ; background-repeat: repeat-y; z-index: 4; } Ah, that is a common problem. A good way is to use a background image to mimic column heights. I have that info in books but don't know a good online resource for it off the bat.The problem is that elements only stretch as far down as they need to. Use a vertically tiled background image and a rule like so to the body element: background-image: #fff url(/images/foo.gif) repeat-y 50% 0; ...as the body fills the screen you now have the illusion of columns at the desired width no matter how little content sits in the right hand column. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
