RE: FN-FORUM: CSS Help

Thanks for the replies folks but I'm still struggling here. This is why I
code & don't design :)

The url is http://82.13.65.36/independent_lady/independent_4.php?e_id=17

I'm not bothered about validation at the moment, I just want the page to
line up!

Any help greatly appreciated..

first explain why the content is absolutely positioned?

you could set it's height in ems, but the height/content of an
absolutely positioned element has no effect on the height of it's
container...

you could float div#content, and clear it so container becomes
dependant on the height of the content, but it's hard to say what's
best to do without seeing the problem...

got a url we could poke at?
