    Hi Everyone,

    I need a second pair of eyes, because I have spent way to much time on this. I can't seem to get my content area to stretch to the bottom of the page unless I state that the content area is over 200%. Also, the side bar is aligning with the first post only, and not at the tiop. Can someone have a look

    Thanks

    Looks like the age old problem of clearing floated divs. There are a couple of ways to resolve it.

    The easiest would be to remove the padding:100% from the CSS for #content_area and replace it with overflow:hidden

    However, a better way would be to add a footer div with clear:both as part of it's CSS after the sidebar.

    Sweet, that worked wonders on the content area!

    No I need to figure out the Sidebar issue :(

    Any ideas?

    Oh yeah, forgot about that!

    That's a bit of an odd one, I think it's down to the sheer number of floated divs you've got. Instead of having float:left on every single post, try wrapping all the posts in a containing div and have that div floated left.

    Okay, I will look at that. I think I am going to have to rebuild the whole thing again, because you should look at it in IE 8... whoa what a disaster. Leave it to MS to muck up CSS ;Þ
