Nearly identical post in alt. www.webmaster, where it is languishing.
I'd like a column that flows the full height of a page, even if you
scroll down.
If I did this:
<div style="width: 100px;height=10 0%;background-color: red">
side bar
</div>
<div style="float: left; background-color: #fff">
main content, enough to have vertical scroll bars on the browser
</div>
I'd have problems after I scrolled down with content wrapping around.
What do I need to do? Seems like I should know this, but... I'm
drawing a blank.
What's the support level of inline-block these days?

This puts the main content after the sidebar, which is what I don't
get-- surely the sidebar is supposed to be at the side?

Probably put the sidebar inside a container that contains both it and
the main content. The container's height will grow to fit the content.
Then you just have to make the sidebar fill its container, which can be
done with absolute positioning (position: relative on the container,
position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0 on the sidebar).
Height: 100% of an auto-height container is no good-- it will be
ignored. But you can locate a positioned box to the top and bottom edges
of an auto-height container.
What's the support level of inline-block these days?
Supported in Opera, Konqueror/Safari. OKish in IE7 I heard so long as
you set widths on the inline-blocks. Completely and utterly broken in
Firefox.

Two columns. Right column doesn't wrap below left column. Exactly what
you would have with this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>left column</td>
<td>content here that doesn't wrap below left column</td>
</tr></table>

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about positioning relative both
coolumns? The sidebar at left: 0px, and the main at say left: 100px and
putting both those in a container div?

Well, I really didn't feel the need for a message ID, and even that

You'd think this was CIWAH. Lighten up.

Well actually that would make sense. See: http://message-id.net/
Depending on ones news server, client, settings, etc., the thread could
be 3 up, 3 down or not present at all! That is why folks get on your
case about quoting and references.

Apologies for the partial post that mysteriously escaped as I was composing.
I shall try again.
For many years I have been happily and successfully coding tables such that
the WIDTH
specified in a TD is the complete column width including any CELLPADDING.
For example for a 400 pixel wide table with four 100 pixel wide columns and
10 pixel cellpadding...
<TABLE WIDTH="400" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="10">

Hello,
I want to define n columns that appear with specific background colors,
different to the body background (i.e. so you can see the area they occupy).
I want the columns to be of the same height but I don't want to use absolute
positioning. I want the height to be determined by the height of the longest
column.
I've defined the columns using inline <span> elements surrounding the column
content. All works fine except the height.

Hi All
How can I get the datagridview to redraw after changing the

I have tried datagridview1.refresh etc to no avail (The row height stays the

If I repopulate its datasource (datatable) then the rows resize OK, but that
is an uneccessary overhead.
