Sidebar height
Okay so now I need the sidebar to run the full length of the page now matter how much content it holds. The reason I need this is because I have the sidebar floating to the left and when I start filling up the content section it drops under the sidebar and looks horrible. I have tried to set the sidebar height to 100% in CSS but to no avail. I also read that I needed to set the parent container height and that 100% would work because the sidebar div just needs something to be 100% of. I did that and it didn't work. However if I set a hard px number say 500px for the height of the display content area then the 100% trick works. However I can't set a hard number because the page needs to grow for as much as I put in or my users put in. Any help would be great. THANKS!!

Inappropriate?I'm going to do some research and look this up for you - in the meantime, I'm going to try and get someone else on this, and maybe they can get you a faster answer. I'm not a CSS expert by any means, but I'll see what I can do.

Inappropriate?Hey, here we go! I found this tutorial, it's got a lot of different way to make things have 100% height, so hopefully you can figure out which one to use, and maybe tell me so I can do it too when I get to that point in CSS. Good luck!
I’m using my Google-fu!

Inappropriate?OK, and it might help if I actually showed you which one it was. More coffee needed, I think.

Inappropriate?Two suggestions to restrict content of wiki page to not overflow the area beneath the SideBar:
1) make content area fixed width
<div style="width:760px;">all content here</div>
2) make content area max width
<table><tr><td style="border-style: none; background-color: transparent;">all content here</td></tr></table>
