Ninjakreborn Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Based on my original css knowledge, it went up almost 85 percent, within the past 4-5 day's. I got a subscription online to safari books, infinite reading, permanent resources. At this point after reading over halfway through css the missing manual, I have learnt a lot. I started learning how to do shorthand, decendent selector's, making coding quicker, faster, and more cross browser compatible. Atleast 45 percent overall of the browser problem's I use to have I found out are easy to overcome with knowledge.I ran into one problem I was unable to figure out. I was reworking a lot of the css on my websitewww.freelancebusinessman.com starting with getting it looking like the original template, and frmo there making modifications based on advice from critique. Right now I redid a lot of the coding, to match what I had learnt, making it more readable, and better looking, and actually better functioning and easier to mantain. A this point, when I was redoing part of the css for the logo, I decreased the width and height, and got it almost perfect, I redid the css for the footer nav, and made it a lot better looking. At this point I have the footer set to a height of pixel's. It looks perfect(almost 99% like I want it in firefox and opera, but in internet explorer, it's not showing the right height. I also learnt about the thing where sometimes margins, or padding I Don't remember can either 1. collapse, or 2 get combines, that helped most of my issue's I was having, this one isn't seem to be related to that. any advice[code]body { /* Body Styles */margin:0px;padding:0px;background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;}#header {width:100%;background-color:#f2faf5;color:#000000;height:25%;float:left;}#leftnav {float:left;width:19%;height:75%;background-color:#f2faf5;color:#000000;overflow:visible;}/* left nav links */#leftnav ul {padding-left:5px;list-style:none;}#leftnav a:link {background-color:#f2faf5;color:#006600;}#leftnav a:visited {background-color:#f2faf5;color:#333300;}#leftnav a:hover {background-color:#f2faf5;color:#003300;}#rightcontent {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;height:50%;width:70%;float:left;}#footer {background: url(../images/bottombar.gif) repeat #FFFFFF;color:#FFFFFF;width:99.3%;height:29px;text-align:right;float:left;border-left: medium solid #cccccc;border-right: medium solid #cccccc;border-top: thick solid #cccccc;border-bottom: thick solid #cccccc;}/* footer links */#footer ul {list-style-type:none;margin-top: 2px;}#footer li {display:inline;}#footer a:link {color:#FFFFFF;}#footer a:visited {color:#666666;}#footer a:hover {color:#CCCCCC;}/* Quick styles */.bold { /* Specific text in left nav that needs bolded */font-weight:bold;font-size:0.9em;}h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {background-color: #f2faf5;color: #000000;font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;}/* Style related to links spread throughout pages */.links {list-style:none;}.links a:link {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#006600;}.links a:visited {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#333300;}.links a:hover {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#003300;}.links2 a:link {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#006600;}.links2 a:visited {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#333300;}.links2 a:hover {background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#003300;}/* For displaying code */.specialtext {font-size:12px;background-color:#999999;}/* End displaying code */[/code]Edit - also I noticed my left nav, doesn't go down all the way to the footer, I need the actual background color, and border I am going to create to go all the way down to the foot of the page, is there a way to do this with css?if so how?

Ninjakreborn Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 For the 2nd problem I found out it's calledEqual Height CSS ColumnsI don't understand a way to do this without something tricky. So far I have been able to get things under control. But these 2 problems are still bugging me, for one does anyone know of a way to fix this. To make them equal just using CSS, with no background images. Because currently I have it with a background color, I am going to add a border as well, but I was wondering if there's a way to make it extend down to the footer?
