CODE #menu { float: left; width: 20%; border-right: 2px solid #6699CC; background-color: #000066 } However, the menu only goes down about half the page. After it ends, so does the background color (and the border) and it looks pretty bad. How can I get these to extend to the bottom of the page? |

Without seeing all the code, I would guess you will have to set a height for the container, not in percent, but a fixed height. Got a link to page? Or complete code if suggestion doesn't work? After all, it's a guess with only what you gave.
Might apply some of the Clearing Floats and Box Model info. Ron This post has been edited by Major Payne: Apr 21 2008, 07:09 PM |
