Need some CSS help

[DaisyJen]

I'm working on a design for a friend and am having some trouble with the design. The draft can be found here. For the life of me, I can't get the background to extend all the way down to the bottom. It's the container background that's not working correctly. I have tried using a br clear tag, but nothing I am doing is working.

Can anyone take a look at the design and lend me some help? I'd be eternally grateful.

Do you mean the #container item won't extend the whitespace down to the bottom of the page?

#container
{
width: 615px;
/*height:730px;*/
margin:0 auto;
text-align: left;
background: #fff url(images/con-bg.gif) top center repeat-y;
}

Try removing the /*height*/ constraint.

That's exatly what I mean! The white space in the container doesn't extend to the bottom of the page.

I just removed the height constraint and it fixed it. Funny thing is, I don't even remember putting that in there. Strange! Sometimes it just takes an extra pair of eyes.

Thanks so much for your help! :-)

You're welcome. Such are the perils of aging. You do, of course, remember the consulting fees, right?

I dont know how many times I have looked over the same area of Code/CSS/HTML tring to figure out WTF a problem was, only to get frustrated and give up. Then come back in a few hours or the next day only find that it was staring me in the face the hole time


very frustrating

Such are the perrils of all things code...from COBOL to Java to PHP to HTML and CSS. The problem is usually so obvious that you can't see it.
