I've been building a new site, since I'd put a lot of work into writing software that I distribute through my photography site. This new site is software only, so I can move my existing stuff, and make my site photo only.

The new site uses something like a two column layout, with the right column being used for navigation for the current "section" or "context." Anyway, the entire left column is narrower than it needs to be, to make room for the right column. At the top of the page, this makes sense, but the nav doesn't go down very far ... is it possible to either extend the paragraphs underneath it, or make it wrap somehow?

Same problem across whatever browser I've looked at it on. Examples:

http://exo-brain.com/
http://exo-brain.com/WebDomViewer/About.html < An image can extend right, but text won't

It's the "sidebar" div, then the "content" div. I've tried just setting the "content" div to 700 px width, and the city image and text below it get pushed down below the nav.

There's room for both of them side-by-side ... how do I code that?

Have you tried floating the sidebar 'box' inside #content ? That would make it just a box, rather than a separate 'column'. Then the text would wrap to the left, and drop below the box once it's gotten past the level of the floated sidebar.

Just make sure you clear your float right after your close #content.

I will have to give that a try! It makes sense when you write it out ... if this works I owe you a coffee. Can I send a mocha as an attachment?

For the record, your advice worked beautifully, and I really do owe you a favor, to be called on whenever.

Great, glad it worked
