Need help with layout stuff for law firm beta

programming web dev

Hey guys. I asked a question a few days ago that Voet answered, but here’s something different that Voets solution last time didnt work.

Take a look at this beta page: www.krisgosser.com/gruber/site4/index2.htm

It’s for a law firm. Notice how the DIV that says “test” (it’s the body div) extends farther than the shadow-border div? I think it’s because the CSS has it extending 100%, which calculate 100% of the screen size before the header and nav divs are in place.

So the question is, what should I put for height so that it will extend all the way to the bottom of any screen and go farther if it needs to?

Thanks!

Site looks nice and clean and has that movie court room feel to it with the light brownish. for the div height use px instead of % :slight_smile:

the problem is I want it to be dynamic so no matter what the screen resolution, it’ll extend to the bottom of the page and not have to scroll if necessar.

I’d say go with pixels instead of %… But if you really want to, then you can keep working on it… Just different browsers react a whole lot different to those %'s. Also, get rid of the thing showing todays date. Possibly replace it with a last update date, but who goes to a law firms website to find out todays date? (I really HATE that in webpages)

For a legal firm site, I think its suitable for those that need to go to a meeting or court case.
