briandina Posts: 18 Joined: 2/18/2003 Status: offline	CSS Positioning - Height - 12/28/2006 8:30:53 I'm using CSS in DreamWeaver MX2004 to position various Layers on the page. I go to the Design Panel, then click on CSS Styles to change positon, color, background, etc. Works pretty well. However, I have one layer (with a repeating image) that I want to extend the height of the page (because content is in another layer and the height of that layer will vary). So, I go to Design Panels / CSS Styles and click on Positioning / Height / 100% (that yeilds the part of the CSS code height: 100%; This almost works in IE7 and FireFox 1.0.6, but totally fails in IE6. Any ideas? Thanx, ~Brian brian@briandina.com

Think about it logically. Height 100%. 100% of what? How high is a page? The more you put in it the higher it gets so 100% can mean anything. Your best bet is to try and design the page so you don't use heights. It would also help if we can see what you've done. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

That didn't work either - see http://briandina.com/css/test31.htm I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my approach or my syntax. Many thanks, ~Brian brian@briandina.com (in reply to briandina)

There are ways round it and there are plenty of approaches to it if you do a search round the web.
