There is a way to make a wrapper extend to the height of the body element. I believe the trick is to set both the html and body elements to have a height of 100%, and give your wrapper a height of 100% as well (although I've often used min-height, which I find makes 'good' browsers play nicer and gets treated as height by IE). So you end up with something along the lines of: html, body { min-height: 100% } #wrapper { min-height: 100% } Then it should just be a matter of what you put into the wrapper and what you exclude. Hope it helps, Seona. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
