I could define 4 container classes, one for each page, and set it to the appropriate height for that page, but this isn't really a fix. I've done lots of googling but I must be going wrong somehow because I can't find a way to get the container to be at least the length of the longest bit within it, but no longer. > Site is http://www.wdam.co.uk/clients/dynam/hh/ >The other issues were caused by me being a complete lemon and forgetting to add a CENTER tag in an important place, so please ignore them! Sorry, I'm not entirely well and it's been a long week! Hello, I just caught the end of this thread and wanted to pass on some CSS code for centering a page. I've tried different techniques and this particular snippet works everytime: body { margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; } div#container { margin: 1em auto; width: 80%; border: 1px solid #000; padding: 1em; background-color: #ddd; text-align: left; } Note that you will probably want to change the border and background. Also, I would recommend removing the deprecated center tag. Re-defining the body tag and using a wrapper div will be sufficient. You don't have to set a fixed height because the container wraps around the content of your page, and the height will adjust to the content, so you should only need one container div for the site. ***Hope this helps! --Kim ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
