Hello all:
Thanks in advance for your help. I know I will find the answer to my problem here.
I have just set up a 2 column site with a div box around everything. I have set the body height: 100% and the box div height: 100% but when the content is larger than the screen size, the box doesn't fill the entire content area (only 100% of the screen area).
I realize the explaination is a little goofy so here's some code . . .
/* CSS Document */
body {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
h1 {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 32px;
}
#box {
border-right: dotted 1px #999999;
border-left: dotted 1px #999999;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 10%;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
table.nav {
border-top: solid 1px #999999;
border-bottom: solid 1px #999999;
padding: 3px 0px 3px 0px;
background: #f2f2f2;
}
div#main {
border-right: dashed 1pw #999999;
padding: 20px, 10px, 5px, 20px;
position: absolute;
top: 135px;
left: 0px;
width: 75%;
height: 100%;
font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 16px;
}
p {
color: #333333;
}
div#right {
padding: 20px, 10px, 5px, 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 135px;
left: 75%;
height: 100%;
font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 16px;
text-align: justified;
}
And here's the file
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<link href="styles/style_one.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Re: div height for entire page
Hi!
I commented out a little from your code and then it worked:
div#main {
border-right: dashed 1pw #999999;
padding: 20px, 10px, 5px, 20px;
/*position: absolute;
top: 135px;
left: 0px;*/
width: 75%;
font-family: garamond, times new roman, serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 16px;
}
You decide how much you want to change with the code, but the problem was that you had that main div positioned.
