height problems

[Mark]

Hi

i try to build a site in CSS and am new to this. Some things work,
others do not.

Now i have a problem with this page:

http://www.groningenbevrijd.nl/colofon.asp

I want all the columns to align at the bottom and it won't work...
Netscape does not show the background-color after some text.

I have tried to make 'containers" 100% with:

html,body,.container,.submenu,.submenucontainer,.c ontentcontainer {
height:100%;
}

But this does not help enough.

I don't know what to do next. Anyone?

<CSS code (part)>
html,body,.container, .submenucontainer, .contentcontainer {
height:100%;
}

..container {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:795px;
}
/* submenu */
..submenucontainer {
float:left;
background-color:#7A8B5E;
width:142px;
}

/* content */
..contentcontainer {
float:right;
background-color:#EBE7DC;
width:653px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

</CSS code (part)>

That won't help. If your page would be taller than the viewport, you
would be left without background colours after scrolling down.
But this does not help enough.

Read the short thread with subject "Is this possible without the use
of tables?", posted yesterday.
That was about a flexible width page, but the height problem is the
same.

Well, that could be addressed with a bit of fiddling, but the whole
thing only works in a limited subset of browsers.

I generally dislike the scheme because it tends to be coupled with fixed
width, centred layouts, and even if they was considered acceptable, they
either need to work completely or not at all. The 'sort of works' states
just look odd in my opinion.
