Hi,
I'm trying to get the content div to stretch all the way to the bottom of the page but so far, its only stretching if theres actual content to display. The reason I want to do this is so if there isn't much content to display, the vertical border still goes all the way down.
Here is my code
<body>
<form id="form1">
<div id="header">
<a title="Home" href="index.html" />
</div>
<div id="menuwrapper">
<div id="menu">
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
and my CSS
body {
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, MS Sans Serif;
font-size:0.9em;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div#header
{
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
}
#header a
{
background-position: 100px 30px;
background: transparent url(site-style-images/sitelogo.jpg) no-repeat fixed 100px 30px;
height: 80px;
display: block;
}
#header, #menuwrapper {
background-repeat: repeat;
background-image: url(site-style-images/darkblue_background_color.jpg);
}
#menu #menuwrapper {
height:25px;
}
div#menuwrapper {
width:100%
}
#menu, #content {
width:1024px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div#menu {
height: 25px;
background-color:#50657a;
}
Thanks for taking a looksi
