I'm building a page that uses only CSS for positioning. I've broken it down into rows and assigned an id to each row. There are approximately 8 rows and I'm running into a problem because the first 6 rows have a static height attribute. The 7th row will have content that will vary in length and will be generated dynamically from a database. It also is broken up into 2 columns so there may be instances where there is more content in the left column than in the right column, or vice versa. The 8th row is a static height footer.
The first 6 rows laid out without a hitch. Problems: 1 Because the 7th row needs to expand to hold the amount of content in either its left column or right column, whichever is greater, I've removed the height attribute. But what happens is when I then incorporate a div tag within the row tag, the content expands but the row itself doesn't. The row has some design elements that need to expand vertically with the content but since the row isn't getting taller those elements aren't either. 2 Once problem 1 is solved I then need to add my 8th row which is a footer. It was simple to vertically place the first 6 rows because they each started at a static point in relation to the top of the browser page, however since the 7th row is dynamic, I'm unsure of how best to place my footer row. In my test page I've set the height of row 7 to a static number so that you can see where the footer should go and get a better sense of the general layout. In order to see my problem please remove the height attribute from that row (with div id == #row_belowfold_2) In order to make the problems more visible, I've removed any graphics and replaced with background colors.
