Amit20 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Test your Code in firebug. When you increase your height in firebug console the height of sidebar indeed increases. try min-height:460px around. Hope it helps!

shaunie Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi, Thanks for your reply, that does work, however I need to keep the minimum height at 380px for the other pages. I was hoping it could stretch beyond this height if necessary...

cssfreakie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi shaunie, The easiest way with the setup you have is to use an image on the container div (#content) and remove the background color and border of #sidebar. so your css could look like this. #content { background: url("http://i51.tinypic.com/11qpojq.png") repeat-y; /* this is an image of 170px with your same colors */ clear: both; float: left; height: 100%; } #content #sidebar { /* removed the color and background */ float: left; min-height: 400px; padding: 10px; width: 160px; } I quickly made an image that does the same as that background color and border, but allows you to increase the height of your page to whatever value you like. you can find/use/download it here: http://i51.tinypic.com/11qpojq.png good luck! cssfreakie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247391-problem-setting-height-for-sidebar/#findComment-1270576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
