I put in the height:100%; in the html and body and then in my screen res (I've a big screen!) the middle bits weren't repeating the background and the windows were half way down the screen. Of course this is only in IE - in FF it looks perfect! I then put in the height:100% in the navigation and main window cell and it joined everything up nicely, but now the page goes on for ever! Any ideas? EDIT: As always, what do you think of the designs? I know that's really a site critique question but you know me - I crave validation as I go along!!!! Edit 2: It seems to be just one of those IE things.... will have to make do with not having the page go all the way to the bottom I guess..... A well.... < Message edited by CelticDragon -- 3/8/2005 12:58:54 > _____________________________ I Lost My Stuff - If you lost it, someone found it!

I think there is one, but I can't remember it off hand. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

She is associated with PIE and writes article with John for Pie as well as for the CMX site. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.
