| Hi,
I am fairly new to using CSS and have been asked to design a new site
from scratch, I want to use a tableless layout with valid XHTML and CSS.
I used the strange banana random CSS generator
www.strangebanana.com/generator.aspx to come up with a basic layout and
I'm modifying that as necessary.
The first problem is that I want the background colour of the menu on
the left hand side to extend to the footer at the bottom of the page. I
have searched a bit for this and realise that this is a limitation of
CSS and that there are various workarounds, but I don't really
understand how to make them work or which one to use, can anyone help
explain fairly simply how to do it?
The site is at: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~jf3537/index.html
and the CSS: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~jf3537/style.css
Secondly at the top of the page I have some text which I want to be left
aligned and a logo which I want to be right aligned but I want them both
to be aligned vertically, I tried to float the image right but it moved
down the page as seen here: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~jf3537/index1.html
what should I have done?
Thanks in advance,
--
