    i was reading the A List Apart's article on trying to implement faux columns so that both sidebar and content matches. but i can't seem to get right on my site here. you will notice the white gap that still exists on the sidebar.

    this is my css code for the content-container;

    #content-container {
  width: auto;
  position: relative;
  clear: both;
  margin-top: 30px;
  padding-top: 0;
  text-align: left;
  background: #333 url(/img/faux.gif) repeat-y 50% 0;
}
    Code (markup):
    thoughts?

    Ah...silly me. I know what caused the issue. I was adjusting the content-container div instead of the container div. this is what it's supposed to look like;

    
#container {
  width: 840px;
  position: relative;
  margin: 0px 0 0 50px;
  background: #fff url(img/faux.gif) repeat-y 0% 0;
}
