I just had a play with it and found this... the CSS is fine. If you delete all the spaces and line brakes between the list items like this liitem1/liliitem2/lili it fixes the probelm. Hope that helps, Darian Cabot -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Software Engineer - Website Design http

the latest versions of the more popular browsers, but I'm concerned about how my CSSs hold up against the earlier browsers (IE4, NN4, NN5, IE5Mac - I've noticed these are mentioned a lot). Are there any attributes to be careful of as a rule of thumb? Thanks, Darian Cabot

Re: [WSG] 100% height div

2004-04-01 Thread Darian Cabot
You have the leftDiv inside MainDiv. leftDiv is 100% height... Just... 100% height of mainDiv (it's parent). You'll need to set mainDiv to 100%, whatever height mainDiv is, leftDiv will follow in your setup. Hope that helps! Oh by-the-way, you have an awesome name ;) Regards, Darian Cabot

I'm guessing the solutions you've tried have been js? How have you tried to validate it? As long as the js is correctly implemented in the html (xhtml?) using the script tags it should validate. Maybe I've missed the point (_; ) Regards, Darian Cabot -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Cabot
