Problem with wrapper div height

  • Hi,
    I am having trouble with the #wrapper height in a template I am building.
    This is the structure of my webpage:

    <start wrapper>
    <start/end header>
    <start/end C1>
    <start/end C2>
    <start/end sidebar>
    <end wrapper>

    CSS:
    html, body {
    height: 100%;
    background-image:url (THEURL);
    }
    #wrapper {
    width: 46.875em;
    height: 100%;
    margin: auto;
    background: #ffffff;
    }

    Essentially the wrapper is supposed to provide a white background so the content in the various columns is readable since the background-image is a different color. The current setting: wrapper-height: 100% shows the white background stretching only to bottom of the loaded page, but nothing below as you scoll down further.

    The reason I am posting this on the WP forums is because I have an inkling that the css reads 100% height for the body and wrapper as 100% of the page, but it cannot foresee what’s inside the php lines of the loop. Meaning it cannot see how long or short the content is. And hence parses 100% of only the browser window without scroll.
    I am sure a problem like this must have a solution. I just can’t find it online. And BTW, I really prefer to not use a fixed height for obvious reasons.

    Chrisber,
    I had a look at all the errors. They are errors caused by tags; such as using <img> instead of <img />, and the same for br, and several others repeated numerous times of each page. There are a few others that didn’t make much sense to me, faults that the validator picked out in javascripts, but oddly enough all the scripts seem to be working.

    What I mean to say is, none of those errors are due unclosed divs, which could cause my problem, or anything else even remotely related.

    What I’m sure of though is that this is my fault, otherwise everyone would get this error with wp. I just can’t figure out where. If you wouldn’t mind, could you have a look at the validation errors and suggest something? If you group them by type, they are very easy to read.

    thanks!

    I have the exact same problem of greenmango112. I have also tried all the hacks I know of. And currently my head is spinning off ??
