Any Way To Fill Page?

  • I’m trying to get some custom pages to “fill” from top to bottom dynamically (if you want to call it that). For example, if you make a post, and it’s not long enough to cover the whole page (resulting in scroll bars) at least the background will tile to the bottom so it looks like a whole page..
    For example: https://tekmonki.com/kontakt.php – the background doesn’t go all the way to the bottom in IE. I can force it with a margin on the contents, but then it’s too long in FF and I’m sure results vary dependant upon resolution anyway.
    Is there a way to achieve this with CSS?
    (Sorry for all the CSS questions and posting in the wrong forum. The CSS forum accepts my post submits, but never posts them. I hear I’m not the only one. And this CSS bizness is like learning a new language.)

    You can set the container or whatever is holding your posts at 100% height in your css, but then you should also set your bodyheight at 100%. I think…

    Hmmmm. Nope. Set both and it moved a little bit, but still doesn’t quite fill the page. I’ve set the bottom margin of the “send” button to do the job, but it’s not very elegant.

    I guess you want to do this because of the footer insisting on hopping around.
    The only real way to sort this is to alter the css so it behaves.
    You have a 2 col layout ? Have a look at Gemini over https://www.atthe404.com/

    ?? He’s using textpattern and the footer doesn’t sit flush against the bottom.

    Gemini is a very sound template.
    Root is playing with a few things, but he doesn’t mess with Gemini ??
    Click the link on the right (on his site). Myself and many others use that template and totally recommend it.
