need help, i need to create a page that expands to accept varying amounts of
info called from a database, it looks a lot neater when a page expands and
shrinks depending on the amount of info, can I do this using layers or does it
have to be a table and is this a Java script function?? visit this link as an
example of what i have now, extra unnecessary space at the bottom when these
radio buttons are called from an "include" -

There is nothing special you should have to do. Web pages expand and contract
with content. Your page has extra space at the end because it has a lot of <p>
tags. Remove those from where ever they are coming from.

expanding according to content, is the DEFAULT behavior for almost any html container, except if you
define their height.
If your containers don't expand, REMOVE all your height attributes from your code.

i think maybe i'm explaining poorly, the white layer behind the text and the
blue bar to the left, i want those to expand and contract with the data that is
"included" through the server side include, does that make more sense??
thx
