I suffer noob shame... as i fear this is one of those "duh-duh" questions. But here goes. I am powering through the learning curve of HTML and dreamweaver (born and raised on flash you see), and am runnning into the following problem: i dont know what i am doing. but more specifically i need to know how to acheive the following.
I need to create a page that expands vertically to accomodate the text that is pasted into it without needing to have the framing images/tables redrawn (i dont know if that is the terminology for it). Here is an example of what i am looking to do:
http://www.neilleblanc.ca/MediaRoom/index.html
and
http://www.neilleblanc.ca/AboutNeil/index.html
notice that both these pages are clearly made from the same template, but one page has seamlessly expanded to accomodate the content dropped into it. I assume this to be a simple thing. So why then when i try to duplicate the effect do i get
http://www.andrewblack.org/dummysite/ask.html
and
http://www.andrewblack.org/dummysite/index.htm
Notice the the bottom of the pages are not level. Even though i set it up in dreamweaver that they LOOK even?!?! What the heck?
so this leaves me with the question, how to setup the page so that the various elements (the blue nav section, and the white content section, and the beige lines) all automatically expand to fit the text content, AND end up lining up?
Hanging head in noob shame |
