[Web4lib] CSS help?

[Marc Bertone]

This will work, but since the left DIV is not really the full height, its
right-border will not extend down to the bottom of the page.  By moving the
border to the "taller" center-column div, you will be sure that the grey
divider line will always be the proper height.
 

1) Remove the following properly from the #leftcolumn class;
border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
2) Add the following property to the #centercolumn class;
border-left: 1px solid #CCCCCC;

Hi Junior,

Try putting a 'wrapper' div around your content and sidebar, like so:

<div wrapper>
	<div sidebar></div>
	<div content></div>
</div wrapper>

And then making the background of that wrapper white.  It should then 'look'
like the background of the sidebar is white, instead of the body background
blue colour.
