Hey I'm really stuck and its so stupid, but i can't work it out!!!



(image above is how the problem looks)

this is a basic idea of my layout, my problem is i cant get the left menu bar to fit the page when the page scrolls, it fits when the smaller pages don't scroll, but the larger pages leave a huge white space under.

I have tried different x y repeats, aligning, i just can't work it out!!

body {
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
font:78% Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #ffffff url("bg.gif");
color:#333333;
}




a.orange:link {color: #feb03c; 
text-decoration:none;}
a.orange:visited {color: #feb03c; 
text-decoration:none;}
a.orange:hover {color: #feb03c; 
text-decoration:underline;}
a.orange:active {color: #feb03c; 
text-decoration:none;}

a.white:link {color: #ffffff; 
text-decoration:none;}
a.white:visited {color: #ffffff; 
text-decoration:none;}
a.white:hover {color: #ffffff; 
text-decoration:underline;}
a.white:active {color: #ffffff; 
text-decoration:none;}

a.black:link {color: #000000; 
text-decoration:none;}
a.black:visited {color: #000000;

This is my style sheet

(excuse the poor coding!)

Thanks for the help!

anyone?

I'm not sure I understand the problem, what should the image look like? Are you wanting the menu to expand to the full height of the page?

And if that is the case, I think you may want to look at Faux Columns. (http://alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/), I think, anyway, never used them myself.

Please don't duplicate your posts. I've answered your question in the CSS forum.

oh sorry i didnt know which one to post it in
