Re: [css-d] Background color for 3 column layout

2012-03-08 Thread John D




 I have a three-column layout, all three of which have a white background.
 The page background is black and I need the div containing the three
 columns to expand with its white background down the page. I need the
 longest of the three columns (2 or 3) to determine how high the containing
 div is. I also have footer that clears the three columns fine. How can I do
 this? Thanks!

By using the technique discussed here:

Good luck.

There are a number of ways to do that. One is a CSS Table [looks like
a table but its not].
