Greetings, Have just joined this list and am looking for insight into a couple of problems I am having. I have been building websites for years, but this is my first attempt to use CSS heavily as a design/layout tool. Mostly, I have been able to figure it out but have two problems that are just stopping me in my tracks. (Oh and I am using Dreamweaver 8, primarily, to set everything up)
A little context... a designer created layouts in photoshop which I am adapting for the web. There are set-size images to use on the outside and as a center background. But on some pages, the content will go longer than the images. Because divs don't easily allow for that without tiling the images (which are not conducive to tiling), I went to a basic table set up with 1 row and three columns, and used divs in the cells for more layout. What I had hoped would happen is that the table cell would lengthen with the content and below the images, a background color would fill in the bacground. That does not seem to be happening. Example: http://ajputnam.com/sky/ontour as you can see, the content table just sort of hangs over the lower edge. Also, on one set of pages, the center image is not appearing at all, and neither is any background color. I seem to have a phantom row of sorts at the top of the page but nothing going on in the background aside from that, and can't figure out why: http://ajputnam.com/sky/discography The "hanging over the edge" problem would happen here too if the center was working at all as intended. I have run the pages and the css file through W3C validators and all come up as good to go. So, I do not know how to fix these problems. Any and all insight will be most gratefully accepted. Thank you!
