Hi Paul,

Thanks for that. I had wondered about using a background image and have now added an enclosing #content div to try it out. The faux column solution looks interesting as well.

Will try both out.

Cheers,

Nick

I have a 3 column layout and want to display a vertical border between the columns. The problem is that the relative heights of the columns can change depending on how much content is in each at any time. I want the borders to always extend for the height of the currently tallest column, and for both borders to be the same height.

See http://dev.logical.co.uk/test/vertical_borders.html


This sounds like it could be a simple variation on equal height faux columns.

Since your columns are fixed widths, you can create your borders as a single vertically-repeating background image applied to the container for all three columns. In your markup you don't have such a container except the body element itself; if you need to accommodate further content on the page, wrap the three columns in a div and go from there.

Regards,
Paul
