Table border to fill entire length of page??

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 27.2008

Hello,

Could someone please answer a question for me? I have a site where I’d like the edges of my table to reach to the bottom of the page. I tried doing this to the CSS and it seems to work on some pages but not the others. Like for example:

[url]http://www.hotelshelley.com/reserve.html[/url] (works here)

[url]http://www.hotelshelley.com/aboutus.html[/url] (not here)

I’d ideally like to accomplish it without having to keep using returns because that creates alot of ugly white space…..and maybe one day I’ll use CSS instead of a table but for now it’s okay and I don’t have the patience.

This is my CSS:
[B]
body {
background-image: url(../images/content/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}[/B]

Thanks for any help!!!

Allie

[CODE]body { height: 100%; }[/CODE]

@grimmylinaauthorFeb 28.2008 — Yeah, I was probably doing it wrong. But I think I kind of solved it. I put the table within a #content:

http://www.hotelshelley.com/index.html

What do you think?

@ray326Feb 29.2008 — Looks like you've got layout problems at the bottoms of the pages that wouldn't be there if you did faux columns.

@grimmylinaauthorFeb 29.2008 — Oh no really, what does it look like? I just couldn't get the gist of how to do the background. It's a little too confusing.

@ray326Feb 29.2008 — Maybe you hadn't reworked them all at the time I looked because now they all seem ok.

@grimmylinaauthorFeb 29.2008 — Yeah, not the greatest design but it will do for now. Thank you!!!
