Aside from doing position:absolute, is there any way to make a <div> column expand the entire height of a page without filling it with text? If I assign it the height 100% it still won't work unless set to :absolute.

The one page I was working on www.equinekk.com I was havbing this issue. Anytime I did anything other than absolute, the <div> column would end as soon as the text would end.

Is it OK to leave it as absolute or would there be a more effecient way to go about it?

BTW the CSS file is at www.equinekk.com/equinekk.css if you want to take a look.

TIA,

Dan

html, body {
   height:100%;
}

and read the stickies -> http://www.webmaster-talk.com/css-fo...l-browser.html

Then I just must be retarded. I have done it every which way and still nothing works. Including following the stickies.

Case in point:

www.dominationchassis.com/production/production.html

and

www.dominationchassis.com/production/dcprod.css

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

What do you want that page to look like and why are you using a table?

You also have a LOT of coding errors, validate your code. You should also just back away from the XHTML Transitional DOCTYPE because your code isn't even close to XHTML compliant. Drop it back to HTML 4.01 Strict.

Tables for layout.... not necessary.

No lie... I would like to stay away from Tables, but I am trying to get the look I want and cannot figure it out another way yet.

Does this help?

hey dude !! you need a little bit of trick !! max-width:100%; use it !!! It works !!!

sorry for the last post !!!

use

max-height:100%;
min-height:800px; <------ at least the minimum height !!!! give value !!!

Except that will NOT work for IE6 (or below) because IE6 does NOT support min/max width or height!

well no worries !! have u used IE8.js !!! It supports the CSS 3 and it is specially made to serve IE 6 !!! Try it !!!!

Why would I want to use javascript when there is a perfectly acceptable fix for IE6 ?? IE8 JUST came out, and there are still a large number of people using IE6. Again, CSS3 is still NOT fully supported and is still just a working draft!!!

Lets get something straight.. validation is NOT the be-all and end-all of anything, so frankly I don't care if the htc file validates or not, in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter ! Validation is a START, not the END and it is not ever the deciding factor, or shouldn't be.

If you don't want to use CSS3, then don't use it !! I'm using it, n it is working fine !!!

Then you must not be testing in those browsers that don't support it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing wrong with looking forward, but making broad statements as you have as to its compatibility, when it is clearly NOT, is not helpful, especially to newbies.
