A simple example - using your page as base... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_7310.html> <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/inside02.css> ...shows that an auto-expanding wrapper takes care of the "same height" problem in a 'flow and float' layout. I left out most styles that were not needed in this example, but no elements should be 'positioned' when you put them back in for variations between pages. Just change the background on #wrapper, which can be done by using a body-ID or changing the wrapper-name. You can fill the separate, vertical, sidebar as you like, but there isn't much space in a 39px wide sidebar. Note that I have used background-color instead of background-images, but you can of course have both if you like. regards -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
