Re: table vs. div tag in site
Actually, db.apache.org was done with an older version of Maven. You can get that look and feel, using the div/ approach, using maven.xdoc.theme=classic. Note that the table style is definitely not a good way to be doing layout, and the web is moving much more towards (albeit slowly) CSS driven layout. You can customise with a whole new site.jsl as recommended, but also by just supplying an alternate stylesheet (preferred). The stylesheet could easily set the left nav to extend to 100% of the content. - Brett On 4/28/05, Jörg Schaible [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Daniel Frey wrote on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:42 PM: Hello I am revising my sites css.

Re: table vs. div tag in site
I just tried google feeling lucky with 100% height div and got this:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/200.htm
makes sense - try 100% on the body (but also test what happens when
you resize to less than the size of the content to make that doesn't
get mucked up).
HTH,
Brett

Thanks Brett for the clear answer. I agree with you, tables is hardcoded
layout stuff, and a distinct separation of layout and content is also what I
prefer.
Did you try to stretch the nav column with css yourself? I would appreciate
some help. When trying to extend the maven-basic.css to stretch to the
extend of the page there are basically to ids the should be considered:
html
...
body class=composite
...
div id=leftColumn
div id=navcolumn
...
In my mave-basic.css I added the following instructions:
#navcolumn {
...
height: 100%;
}
#leftColumn {
...
height: 100%;
...
}
However, no stretching is visible. Any clue what would do the trick?
Thanks in advance.
