Opendiode.com site design help/discussion

[.Lou]

Here's a beta design for opendiode.com. I have a little issue here that I'm hoping you guys can help with.

My menu is a certain hight, but when I stick in the content box, they won't be the same height. I need them both to always be the same height. So if the menu is the biggest one, the content box will be enlarged (with white space) to be the same height as the menu, and vice versa.

As well, any constructive criticism is welcome.

I've only ever seen it done without no js hacks at cssplay:

..
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/3cols.html
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/3cols2.html

I've not tried it on a background but it should work and you can tweak it if you only want 2 columns .

Could I just have it all contained in 1 big container div, and have it take up 100% of that?

I'll be doing something else to it, so it should be fine. Thanks anyway though .

If you still wanna do what you said in the first post then try the css I posted here: http://forum.msgstuff.com/showthread.php...61#pid8561

My bad
For anyone else reading this (who's presumably friends with google ) basically the css adds loads of padding to the bottom of the div and reduces the margin of the bottom by the same amount (or a bit less if you want a bit of padding to always be on the bottom). Then however much the page goes on for underneath the end of the content of this div it will show the extra padding that you added to the bottom, but only as much as it needs.

And seeing as when reading that back it didn't make much sense to me here's the css anyway:

Code:

padding-bottom: 32767px;
  margin-bottom: -32757px;
