Navigation Bar Help

Site details:

I have built my header, nav bar, and footer in separate htm files using tables and css. I am building my pages using asp (to include those three files), tables and css.

My problem:

My users are mostly browsing the site i’m redesigning through IE (on pc’s, not mac’s), and most of those users have the most recent updated version which i have on my pc. (Very few of my users are using firefox.)
My navigation bar is supposed to run the entire height of my web pages at the left hand side of the page. in IE-6, however, it stops short of the bottom of the page.

I’ve tried making several adjustments, and i end up screwing up the top alignment i have for the logo and the text links, and even then the bar won’t extend fully in IE-6 like i want it too…I don’t want the logo and my text links to move – they need to always be at the top. For design purposes, though, I would like the background of the nav bar to extend the full height of the page.

I posted this in General already, but got only one response. I’m really, really struggling with this and some help if possible!! No matter what I do, I can’t get it to work!! 🙁

Thanks in advance!!

@Rossario123Aug 28.2006 — can you post your css file??

and the html portion of the navbar only.

and as well i suggest that you at least try to make it cross browser compatable (unless i read your post wrong).

@takinduroAug 28.2006 — There are two ways you can do this. If you are using tables,

here is how it would look:

<table>

<tr>

<td> this is the navigation

</td>

<td>This is where the content of the webpage goes.

</tr>

</table>

doing this will ensure that the nav grows as far as the webpage grows.

if you are using divs:

<div id="container">

<div id="nav">

</div>

<div id="content">

</div>

to show the effect though, you have to have a background-image on the container with a rule going down the width of the navigation or something like that.

Hope this helps

Success!
