RE: FN-FORUM: Div Height 100%

date posted 9th January 2006 11:06

If you check my site http://www.wiredeyes.com, you will see two columns, the
left one is a background image on the container div, and the right one is
defined by the bottom footer navigation which is a floating div positioned
attached to the bottom of the container. These are ugly hacks and is
something that really needs sorting out in modern browsers.
