    Just set the heights of the divs the same.

    If you could provide the url or show to the code and css it might be easier to provide advice.

    The HTML or CSS, or both?

    adriel, please don't use the code and HTML tags for posting links. And as soulscratch said, faux columns can do this, but they're quite complicated to master unless you fake it with using either a background image (requires fixed width columns) or using a table for the layout.

    It's ok. I'm not a moderator here (I'm just a regular poster, like you), but seeing links inside code blocks like that really gets on my nerves. Once you've been here a week and have at least ten posts (IIRC) you'll be able to have the links parsed automatically, and if you don't want them to show up as links, just go to the bottom of the post page and uncheck the option (if using the quick reply feature, you have to click "Go Advanced" instead of "Post Quick Reply" to do so).

    First off, I'd ditch the CSS 3 requirement since the site can be done with CSS 2.1 just fine (that, and CSS 3 is still a work in progress, which is a shame).

    One of my friends, Jason "Deathshadow" Knight (a forum member here) has a three column tutorial in the process of being written you may find interesting that will deal with the image-free faux-column trick. The link is below:

    Yea it probably would be best if I only used CSS 2.1 it's just the CSS 3 has the cool shadows, and transparency :)

    Ah yes thats look more like what I could use, altho I kinda like the picture idea now, as you can see I have made it a bit faded in the middle now :)
    But i'll try non picture way and see how it looks. New site (updated)

    Your site fails if you're going to have CSS3 or even CSS2.1 requirements, because AFAIK no browser even *fully/perfectly* supports CSS 1, let alone CSS2 or CSS3.

    No. Enough of the CSS 2.1 specification is supported by even Internet Explorer 5 that it can be used.
