I need a little help

    First of all I am new to div layouts and style sheets. I have created a few websites using html, but this is quite different for me.

    I am working on a layout for myspace using div overlays. I used a div generator to practice on, so far I have figured out how to move the tables, resize them add content to them, etc. But I have one problem there is no space at the bottom of my layout, the divs are stuck at the bottom of the window and will not scroll any further. How can I get some extra space there?
    The link to my layout is below...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,April

    Sorry it says I can't use live links yet, so you'll have to just copy and paste.

    there are many ways to add extra space..i see you have a lot of useless tables there. ok here's how
    1. after the table ends, meaning the last </table> add a paragraph or 2 or 3
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    2. add extra rows to the last table and don't put borders on them..again
    <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>

    as many as you wish
    hope it helps you...
    oh you can add a div with the bottom padding to 50 px or so

    Thanks a lot! I will give that a try. Yea there isn't anything in the divs yet because I want to get the basic layout the way I want it so the content doesn't confuse me. Right now the codes are simple and easy to find. I made the mistake the first time and started adding the content to the divs first and ended up messing it up and now I am having to do it all over again.

    Thanks so much! I added 5 to the padding towards the bottom and that has fixed it.

    Hugs,April

    glad it worked..good luck..
    make sure you test it on IE 6 and 7 and Firefox too.
    IE has many bugs with CSS especially with aligning
