Html Help: Div Cuts Off Unexpectedly - html bug: failure to encompass all content

snlildude87
Hey guys,

I'm making a new template because I decided that I needed a much simpler one that goes with the times.

Template here: http://nerdnirvana.org/newlay0ut/v3.htm

As you can see, everything looks fine, but if the content area is smaller in length than the sidebar, then the layout screws up because the layout refuses to expand to encompass everything. Link: http://nerdnirvana.org/newlay0ut/comments.htm

Does anyone know what I can do so that the layout expands if necessary? I tried clearing the div, but that doesn't help.

Thanks!

did you try putting the nav menu coding within the div tag that runs the overall look?

Yep, I did that. Makes no difference. sad.gif

ooooh oooh I just thought of it why don't you try putting a blank image for a background to use it as a filler to expand it?

or did you try resizing the table in the css?

You need to float #content left and give it an appropriate width. Then, remove the absolute positioning from #linkList and give it a margin-left wider than the width of #content.
Ideally both those two columns should go inside their own wrapper div which should have overflow:hidden applied to it so that Firefox expands to contain the floats (IE does this incorrectly by default).

Like this, except I don't have the overflow:idden there yet...

Yeah, Jim's example's right even though his narrow column is on the opposite side to yours. Whichever column comes first in the source is the one that needs to be floated. So in your case snlildude87, it needs to be your wide column.

  6. Gas Prices Are Too High!

    As you know, Gas prices will continue to get higher and higher...and paychecks don't! At
    this rate people living on minimum wage cannot afford gas. In turn, they cannot go to job, and then
    they cannot afford their house or appartment and then they will be homeless. Public transportation
    is increasing their prices so that won't work either! Soon less jobs around the world,
    businesses will fail, and economy will go down. Even lets say they have, which they already do, a
    car that runs on nothing, lets just say it runs. A Good price for it is 20,000, eve....
