 * Hey!
 * I am creating a site, and I need to have these striped bands at the top and the
   bottom of the site.
    [http://69.89.31.152/~littlgp0/ginny/](http://69.89.31.152/~littlgp0/ginny/)
 * When the browser opens, the stripes fit perfectly to the top and the bottom of
   the site. but once the scrolling down begins, the bottom stripe is stuck in place,
   where the browser first opened.
 * How do i maintain the bottom stripe to follow the very bottom of the browser 
   window?
 * **Here is the CSS for top and bottom stripe:**
    #stripes_top { width: 100%; position:
   absolute; top: 0px; } #stripes_bottom { width: 100%; position: absolute; bottom:
   0px; }
 * **HTML for the bottom stripe:**
    <div id=”stripes_bottom”> <table width=”100%”
   border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″> <tr> <td bgcolor=”#e3916e”><div class
   =”box padTop10″></div></td> <td bgcolor=”#336774″><div class=”box padTop10″></
   div></td> <td bgcolor=”#f6c555″><div class=”box padTop10″></div></td> <td bgcolor
   =”#6f3381″><div class=”box padTop10″></div></td> <td bgcolor=”#7ba23f”><div class
   =”box padTop10″></div></td> <td bgcolor=”#b68e55″><div class=”box padTop10″></
   div></td> </tr> </table>
 *  </div>

 * your site also has a few validation errors [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F69.89.31.152%2F%7Elittlgp0%2Fginny%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F69.89.31.152%2F%7Elittlgp0%2Fginny%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0),
   which might be the cause of misalignment in IE (at least in IE7).

 * Hey the css positioning I was looking for was FIXED – thank you!!
 * Also the validation – I was able to reduce the errors by a lot, thanks for letting
   me know about this. But there seems to be error messages that I can’t do anything
   about?
 * Are there some of these messages that all word press sites get?
    A lot of them
   have to do with the “<” at the beginning – for example.
 * Not sure how to clear all of these errors.
 * Thank you for your help.

 * the firsdt error is caused by a typing error in here:
 *     ```
       </php
   
       	/*
       		Template Name: Pages Main
   
       	*/
       ?>
       ```
   
 * should be:
 *     ```
       <?php
       ```
   
 * some of the other errors might disappear if the first one is corrected….
