Issue with Sidebar….

Without specific issues to direct us to what the problem is, the picture only tells part of the story. Part of that story is the validation errors that need to be fixed. From there, you are going to have to be more specific. Is it the fact that the main white area doesn’t go down all the way? Point us after you get the errors fixed.

yea, I’d think that it’s that the white part doesn’t go all the way down. The only way to “fix” that is to either provide enough content so that you won’t have to worry about it, or to use a background image that looks how you want it to and use css to have the image repeat in your content area.

You could try adding a height:100% tag to the main column div, or whatever it’s called, in your stylesheet.

My favorite way to solve this sort of thing is to make the column on the left “float: left”, give the column on the right a left margin equal to the width of the left column. Then, directly after you close your right column, place a “blank” div that has “clear: both” set on it. I mean “blank” as in it contains no content… ex:
<div class=”blank”> </div>

This should force the box for the border to encompass both the left column and the right.

I think you’ll also have to do an IE hack for the right column left margin, or else IE will wrap the thing weird. Can’t quite remember though… it’s been awhile since I’ve done something like that.

<div class=”blank”> & n b s p ; </div>
That’s what was supposed to be in the above example. It didn’t translate the non breaking space as text.

Lorelle, I’ll jump on those Validation errors, but I don’t believe that they’re causing the problem.

Lawtai, I use a background image which is set to repeat-y, positioned right.

Robert, I have tried that one, but it seems as though it doesn’t do a thing.

Trail, As soon as I get the validation errors fixed, I’ll try that.

Thanks for all of your responses!
