screen format problem

Hi

In the moment i have some problems regarding the format of the web page in the screen.

Im using the same template for all the pages in my site and some of them dont have much information in it, so the body of the page ends in the midle of the screen and you see the background image in the rest of it and I dont fell very glad with it.

If some of you would help me with my problem i would appreciate it.

PS: im using CSS and HTML

Now i solved the problem by using <br> but i think is rather unelegantand hope there is a beter way to do this.

Without the complete code, we can only guess.

Never use tables for layout.

never use a table for layout?
All web pages are based on tables, rows and col.
Please explain what you mean?
If you look at this website format you will see tables.

Tables are for tabular data not for laying out pages. Before CSS became reasonable to use, tables were the only viable way to position things. But now that CSS is here, tables should resume their duty of displaying data only. If positioning is necessary, then use CSS.

Not all web sites are set up as rows and columns. CSS is more flexible and faster loading than tables, too. Some will tell you that tables for layout is stupid.

In my case, I have never used tables for layout.

Thanks, for the great rely. CSS are great, but there are problems with them with different browsers.

Generally, CSS works fine in all browsers except IE which is bug-ridden. But the problems are known as well as the solutions.
