Yes, yes, I agree: define your footer and your problem will be solved. Now, if you wish to have the white background color of the sidebar extend all the way down, you can set the background color on either rap or outer (I didn’t look at your code too carefully, but it will be one of those…)
Have a look at this page for an example. It uses 3 columns instead of two, but the idea is the same.

More on bandwidth theft:
Dunstan Orchard had a very funny way of dealing with a particular person hotlinking his images. Read about it here.
The short of it is, he altered his .htaccess file to direct all external requests for images to a pornographic image. So, anyone who had been hotlinking his images, now had a very nasty (and embarrasing) image on their site. Funny stuff…

I’m as confused as the rest of you. I have Google ads on Can’t Boil Water, no hack/plugin needed. It’s a simple copy/paste of code snippet.
Unless I’m missing something and am not understanding the original question???

Try removing the line: “position: absolute;” from your .credit declaration. That should clear up the Mozilla display issues.

Frolic: Cool…glad to hear it’s getting clearer, and that it wasn’t an actual CSS book. If it was, I’d have to put it on my list of banned books ??
NM: One reason I can think of to do it the way David did: the id’s of leftmenu and rightmenu can be used to position those divs on the page, while both might contain the same styling (class of menu), such as unordered lists without bullets, a particular line height, font, link color, etc. So, one class definition covers both sidebars, but the id’s tell the browser where to position them.

“This isn’t defined in the CSS books I have.”

Really? I’ve never seen a CSS book *whithout* id defined. The id selector is one of the basics of CSS…Just curious, what book are you using?

Anon,
Yeah, I hear that alot…not just here. But I still don’t get it. I think a lot of folks are very confused as to what the “whole nine yards” really are, that’s all. Just like the tables for data argument…there are those that *insist* tables shouldn’t be used *ever*…even for data (and that’s just plain wrong.)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, a repeating background for the drop shadow effect works great (for fixed width layouts, anyway.)

Clean…I like the table of contents…reminds me of a term paper ??
Personally, though, I don’t care for the yellow hover color…I can’t read the link text when I hover…it just blends into the background. Also, the main body text is a bit light. Maybe it’s my monitor, but I can *barely* read it…to the point where I stopped even trying. Perhaps a shade or two darker? Just something to consider…

Ummmm…what LL posted *is* a pure CSS solution. It’s *purely* using the background tag of CSS. I’ll never understand why people incorrectly believe CSS=no graphics??? The idea of CSS is to separate style from content/semantic markup. Background images are style…pure and simple.

Works fine in my Firefox…if it’s the fade-in of the text you’re talking about…

You can’t put a table *inside* a heading tag…

Joni,
I used to drive a ’74 260Z (stock carb’s replaced with dual Webber’s, Centerline rims, low profile Toyo Z radials, metallic rootbeer brown), until it got stolen… ??
(nice site)

Seems like the errors I’ve seen are because of using XHTML 1.1 doctype. Perhaps switching to 1.0, to be more forgiving? Even XHTML 1.0 strict should do the trick…

Here’s my 2-cents:
(You *had* to know I’d chime in…)
For me, the problem isn’t necessarily posting anonymously, rather it’s the content of the posts. A large number of anonymous posts seem to have nothing constructive or helpful to say, but instead dish out negativity without purpose. I’ve seen this time and time again in numerous threads. The pure negativity (and often times personal attacks) can be seen as hiding when posted anonymously.
Personally, I don’t really give a rats @ss if you post anonymously, or if you let people know who you are…That’s between you and your therapist.

Very nice…clean and well organized. Keep up the good work!
Are you using Dunstan’s weather thingy, or did you write your own? Dunstan sent me the code a while back, but I’m still working on creating the images…
