How to make page to auto expand ?

    I'm having problems setting up a page in CSS, where, when we enter a text in the main part, it would expand automatically, bringing also the background of the left menu, the page borders and the footer.

    The method I'm using right now consists of moving the footer lower, expanding the main part, the left menu background and the borders manually, but it is very stressing and time consuming doing it for more than 20 pages.

    I have the impression that I am consuming extra time when there would be an easier solution for that. Is it possible to do such a thing? Could you explain to me how to do it please?

    I do not have much experience with CSS but you can try this login:

    Place the menu and the main content in a container div and then set the heights to 100% for the child divs. This might work... no guarantees!
