in need of some CSS help

  • Alright my problem is a tad bit hard to describe, basically, the content area where text would go on a page, is white. but underneath it, its black. I want the White part of the of it to extend to the bottom of the page even when there is no next there. As it stands now it just doesn’t look right.

    I have pinpointed the bit of CSS which Iam sure controls this (I know this because I have messed with it a bit)

    Included are two pictures showing what I mean

    This image is what I mean, even if the text doesnt hit the bottom of the page, the background for text is still there…

    HERE is the code in question
    .art-contentLayout .art-content {
    -moz-background-clip:border;
    -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
    -moz-background-origin:padding;
    background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
    border:0 none;
    float:left;
    margin:0;
    overflow:hidden;
    padding:0;
    position:relative;
    width:749px;

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hi mate,
    the CSS isn’t the problem here, it’s an HTML thing. You’ll notice in the second image the blue bit that reaches the bottom actually surrounds the sidebar as well. So both the content and the sidebar are surrounded by a <div> that has a blue background. It’s the sidebar that pushes that blue box down, not the content. In your example you are targetting only the content so the CSS is doing the right thing by making the content box white (#ffffff). You should see if there is a <div> that surrounds both your content and sidebar; if there is make the background of that white.

    Thanks! I ended up figuring it out, it was a matter of turning the whole background White, then turning the background for the sidebar Black..and now it looks correct!

    Really most of the time I just need alittle push in the right direction!

    take a look for yourself
