I am having problems with divs and height. I notice this is a very common problem, I have tried many of the fixes and I am still running into problems.
I am working on this page.
My problem is the Div columns will not stretch to 100%, or 100% seems to be the users screen height and not the content height. I would like all the columns to stretch to the height of the page content. http://www.rewitec.ca/index.php?CategoryID=53
I am using an external style sheet.
Here is the code: -

please take a look at this category on the page in both FF and IE.
Where am I going wrong
Thank you for any help

When you use percentage, the question to ask is "Percent of what?" Normally it would be the percent of the containing/parent element. But, if so, what is the size of that parent? That needs a defined size and, if it, too, is in percent then...percent of what?
In your case, you show the html, body and other elements set to float. Floating removes that element from the normal flow and some of them may be losing their reference point. Try to let elements fall where they may without positioning them and decrease the need to float everything.
Your doctype is incorrect and IE will go into quirks mode. Use this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> These CSS errors need fixing.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'll fix these problems to the best of my ability. Wow changing the doctype has mixed everything up, this might take a bit.
Again thank you. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions shortly.
The reason things change is because we are changing the rules. No doctype means rendering in quirks, which is so 20th century. Current standards require the doctype I showed you. For more info, see the article about doctypes in the Howto section above.
I have fixed the errors and the page is now layed out correctly in FF and IE.
The last problem I am have is how do I make my left and right borders and nav_body height relative to the content height.
I am new to css (I'm sure you noticed)
I'm not sure where to begin fixing this. I have removed the height: 100% from the body and this seems to allow the content div to stretch correctly, but leaves my #border_left, #border_right and #v_NavBody from showing..does not stretch to the content height.
Sorry to be such a newb with css, but I'm learning.
If the percent is based on the parent container, This means that I need to create a container that holds all the columns and have that stretch to fit the content? ....making all the columns stretch to fill this container ?

I read that if one uses "table-layout:fixed"
then table rendering is speeded by setting row height. All my rows
are 285 px high.
1) Is this true?
2) If true, how does one set row-height for the table,
preferable with a CSS style?
Thanks, CMA

Does anybody know a way to get the heights of the various lines of text in a
RichTextBox?
I'm not sure if "height" is the proper term. But what I'm getting at is
that if you set the
font size of some selected text on a line the entire line "height" expands
to the new font
size.
I want that!

Why are the text box heights of the input/file type textbox for uploading
files a smaller height than a normal textbox?
They have the exact same font and the same size font.
But the heights are smaller for the upload textbox for some reason.
I wanted to make them look the same, but can't figure out how to change
them - or can you?

Hi All,
I am having trouble big times figuring out a way of forcing a DIV to be
in synch with another DIV's height in a (mostly vertically) fluid
layout in a web app context. The first one has overflow-x:auto; and a
width set but not a height as I want it to vertically grow with the
text inside.
Basically I would like the same height for the second one. I care less
if it is CSS, tables or Javascript but I would prefer the solution to

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
