Problems with simplebits background cheat

Sent by Purplegenie Design{web+print} on 26 June 2005 01:01


Hi all,

I've got a prototype here:

http://www.eatsmartmovemorenc.com/panstaging/

The CSS is here:

http://www.eatsmartmovemorenc.com/panstaging/stylesheets/PANmain.css

The problem is this:

The three floated columns are enclosed in a container div called 
#divPagebody. This div has a background that should put column divisions 
all the way down the page (a dotted red line to divide each column). 
However, the background is not showing up.

When I put a border around #divPagebody to check it, it has no height at 
all (which explains why its background is not visible).

#divPagebody should be automatically stretched to the height of the 
longest floated column (shouldn't it?) and the background ought to 
stretch all the way down to the footer (oughtn't it?).

I have the nagging suspicion that I'm overlooking something terribly 
obvious.

TIA,

linda
