Hello,

I'm new to this forum and as "WEB Developer".
Actually I'm trying to be :)

My problem is, I'm creating a site that needs to have a column on the left and the heigh is 100% under the logo.

I'm trying to do this with CSS and I have a bleed at the bottom and I can not make it work.

I need to be 100% so if I resize the window so the left column takes the 100% of the space under the logo.

Thanks.

this is my HTML

The CSS:



body {
padding: 0px;
margin: auto;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Arial;
}

#outerDiv {
position: absolute;
max-height: 100%;

#outerCanvas {
margin-left: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: auto;
background-color: white;
height: 100%;
width: 95%;
}

#head {

background-color: #cccccc;
width: 200px;
}

#logo {
background-color: #009966;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
}

#outerBanner {
height: 100%;

}

So what your basically saying is, you want a 2+ columned website, and the left column is 100% of the height of the screen. If this is what your after, then check out this tutorial.

If that is not what your after, can you either show me an example, (maybe a link to a similar looking website). Otherwise, ill have a go at guessing what you mean.
