I'm having some trouble with the left side coloum. I'm trying to get it to drag right down along side the right coloum, instead ATM it cuts off and the text transports underneath it. :| See: http://zompus.com/test/ This is what I need: http://zompus.com/test/pic.PNG Any suggestions?
Well, you might try using a table. I know that's not what a lot of people want to hear, but that's the only way I've found to keep text from wrapping around and under a fixed height object. You could then make the background of your left td black. You might also try setting the height of your left div to 100%. Not sure how well that would work.
Thanks for the reply josh, but it was an easy fix for me. Adding a margin on the right float and set the body background to the left sides background. easy. Also I asked the same question here and got a good response: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=449942 Thanks again Josh.
