Re: [css-d] left sidebar float problems
Matt, You are the man. I've been looking for that. Every other solution I've seen has drawbacks such as tallest content must come in a certain column, background color doesn't flow down, requires JS, etc. Nice work.

Re: [css-d] left sidebar float problems
Hi Lisa, The layout you are working from may not be ideal. The idea of using extremely long side columns and then chopping them off to make them equal is neat but it fails if you use anchor links within the content. May I suggest my 3 column layout instead: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-3-column-holy-grail-pixels.htm It is a more robust design, has equal height columns, the main column comes first in the source, it works in all the common web browsers and it doesn't use any CSS hacks. Check out this link for browser compatibility screenshots: http://browsershots.org/http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-3-column-holy-grail-pixels.htm I hope that helps - Matt =) Matthew James Taylor http://matthewjamestaylor.com I have a website I'm working on. What I am trying to do is to have the sidebar carry down with the content so that it appears seamless. I've been reading http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail and trying to follow instructions. Now it seems I have too much sidebar carrying down..I'm so beyond frustrated, please advise.I need HELP!

[css-d] left sidebar float problems
I have a website I'm working on. What I am trying to do is to have the
sidebar carry down with the content so that it appears seamless. I've been
reading http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail and trying to follow
instructions. Now it seems I have too much sidebar carrying down..I'm so
beyond frustrated, please advise.I need HELP!
The site link is as follows:
http://www.webgirlwebdesigns.com/testing/TriBeam/index.html
In my sidebar css, I have the following:
#sidebar {
width: 180px;
background-color: #E7F5FE;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
border-left: 1px solid #75B4D4;
border-right: 1px solid #75B4D4;
border-top: 1px solid #75B4D4;
position: absolute;
top: 87px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 400em; /* X + padding-bottom */
margin-bottom: -400em; /* X */
height: 23px;
}
I've tried adjusting the em variables and can't make it work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
