Hello everyone! I need some of your expertise to help me figure out this problem:
http://uberdome.net/rustest/?page=club
on this page, as you can see, the left column doesn't extend fully even though i have height:100% in my css. Please help me fix this.. you can download the css file at: http://uberdome.net/rustest/styles/style1.css
Thanks.

a div will only extend to fit the content within it even if height is set to 100%

have a look at some of the sites under the layouts section in the css resources sites 2 thread at the top of this forum.

good luck

doe's for me?

I recomend to use tables. DIVs are the worst invention after the invention of frames.

who says, CSS rocks!

Root, you need to look into SEO, webstandards, the W3C and suchlike before you say things like that.

Frames are the worst invention after the invention of tables.

Stenzor, your question would be much better answered in the CSS sub-forum. Bradzin also gave good advice.

div elements and css are two different things. You can use css with tables or with divs, or both.

But after clearing that up I'm going to side with the winning side. Layout isn't "tabular data" so trying to do your layout with tables is abusing them.

Tables are the most compatible solution to make a web site that was really viewable by most browsers and most users. So why use divs when all you get is problems?

Yawn. That is such a tired excuse for using old nasty tables and avoiding learning table-less layout with CSS and clean semantic markup.

CSS does not 'just cause problems', but it DOES require some additional education to overcome the BROWSER problems (read as IE !) that we must all deal with. In fact, if it weren't for IE, coding using CSS would be almost effortless.

Did you fix this or am I missing something?
