A lil background issue

    Hey y'all, recently started using DIVs completely instead of tables, everythings A OK but one small issue, if you look at the picture below you will see that the background of the left column (PURE BLACK) isnt stretching all the way to the bottom of the table. I've tried height:100%; but still no luck. Any ideas?

    I've purposely covered the content as I want the site to remain secret til' it's complete.

    Cheers

    It is difficult to tell just from an image !

    There can be a varied reasons for this, could you PM me the actual link where the site is live, so that I may look at the code and tell you ?

    Basically, there is no reason why your column should stretch upto a full bottom! You can try faux columns, that'd help a lot! :)

    Hmm, the link you post is interesting. I want it to stretch because otherwise it just looks stupid, do you see what i mean? The style doesn't look as well structured unless the entire column is black all the way down. It must stretch becuase the center content can vary meaning the page could be really long or really short.

    I get your point, but it'd be difficult to say anything with just an image. Since there can be many reasons for a particular glitch in CSS. So you've always ought to show the code when posting anything!

    Did the faux columns work for you ?
