On some suggestions from this group, I've started to turn my internal
helpdesky site for our company to non-absolute positioning. I've been
reading O'Reilly's CSS book, and several [million] web sites and tips.
For the most part, things are going OK, but I can't seem to find an
answer to a particular problem.
Using a simpler example, below's some stuff...what I'm trying to do,
is get the DIVs inside the .mainbody DIV to be 100% of their parent's
height - these are namely the .leftnav and .middle DIVs. All I've seen
are absolute positioning examples, and I'm trying very hard to stay
away from that.
I just want both the .leftnav and .middle DIVs to scale in height
depending on which one's larger. Currently they don't budge in
relation to each other. I can get them to 100% of the /body/, if I set
a height on the body tag, but I can't get that same logic working
inside .mainbody, which I thought was the .leftnav/.middle parent.
losing it... thanks for any help :)

You are solving wrong problem. There is no need to elements actually be
same height, they just need to look like that.

Kinda helps, but not quite what I was going for. That also reacts
badly with a container DIV that sets margins on both sides of the
page.... not very malleable, but thanks for the link.
I got a great reply from the guy that does Selectutorial http://css.maxdesign.com.au/
which involved using a repeating background image, rather than a
background color for the DIV. Works great, and it scales the color
down should the main content DIV get larger than it.
Thanks again for the reply!

Yes, that works too. Of course it depends on images, but that is small
drawback, unless you use such colors that are impossible to read whitout
image.

IE - I don't have the example saved anymore, but all I did was add a
container div with a margin-left/right:10%, and the positioning of the
text in the right div misbehaved a little - like it was being pushed
over by the list in the left div, but only where the list was parallel
with the right-side text. There's likely a way around it, but I was
going for something a little simpler. I got a great reply from the guy that does Selectutorial

True, a slight drawback, but I find it a little more intuitive,
instead of using hacks - however helpful they may be - to achieve the
same. Like I say, I'm no css-god, and I do a million other things
around here. This helpdesk site is just what I can eke out with spare
brain cycles. :)

Hm. need to test that someday, when I have time.

hi,
recently i discovered a memory leak in our code; after some investigation i

use return objects (to avoid copying) i often assign them to a const
reference.
now, casting a const return object from a function to a non-const reference
