sup guys?
if you're a css/xhtml type of guy, you'll be able to help me, and i would deeply appreciate your help.

site: www.jointherevolution.org/html

problem: in safari it looks fine. in FF, it adds about 100px spacing to the bottom of the page when it should fit to the bottom of the page. on the pc (ie), the right column seems to be moved over what looks to be 5-10px to the right as well as the weird spacing on the bottom. if you need/want a screenshot of what i'm trying to accomplish or how it looks in safari, let me know and i'll hook you up.

now, with the spacing on the bottom, that is a height issue. tables can't have height so you have to give them a class/id with height:100% .. i know.

removing this from your CSS fixed the problem for me.
#fullheight{height:100%}

preloader, man..
dreamweaver automatically adds in all the code with the rollover images.
sure, you could do the rollovers in css, but that's a pain in hand code.

i'll work with the "fullheight" thing..
i actually pulled that from a site. ie is the only one that understands table 100% still.. all the other browsers don't, thus you have to give the table an id and define the height in the css..

too much work now, man!
it now looks fine in ie win, but in FF and in ie mac, the table still isn't expanding to the bottom of the page.. any suggestions?
shouldn't it be a height:100% thing?

Umm... well first this should've been posted in Client Side. Anyway... on your table in your html remove the width and declare it in your CSS. So where you have

#fullheight{height:100%}
try

#fullheight{ height:100%; width: 100% } if that doesn't work try

#fullheight{ height:100%; width: 100%; margin: auto; }
I would look more into it but the tables are hurting my eyes hehe :sleep: :pirate: :hurt: :elderly: :asleep:

Too much work? I don't think it would, it would make your life alot easier with out tables, and since your layout is farily simple it wouldn' take too much... just a thought...

also, what is this "revolution" thing is it something you are a part of, or a website you are doing for someone else? I work for an orginzation called mission year that is concerned with similar things. thanks!

Oh... actually something funky is goin on in your css... I dunno what but I removed the height: 100% outta your css, like ole boy at at the top, and then replaced it w/ margin: auto (to center it again) AND removed height=100% in your HTML and it works fine. I didn't take a look into your CSS more... but it looks as if something is already expanding your table 100% by default and when you were declaring it again it was adding extra to the bottom. I've only tested on Mac OSX FF, and Safari... IE is the devil on Mac... well and on PC too.

sweet.. i'll work with the suggestions and keep you posted.
sorry for posting in the wrong section..

hmm.. well, i tried all that was posted and nothing seemed to fix the spacing on the bottom of the page. i know that ie is weird and padding doesn't seem to do anything, but if set in margin, then it works. but anyway, i tried setting height and width to 100%, margin:auto, and taking out heights on the tables.. it jacked up the PC IE.. and right now i have two of the major browsers working Safari and PC IE so i'm not so worried, but still can't figure out why FF is the pain..

thanks again.
