extra spaces at bottom of page

**neil** · 09-17-2003 05:45 AM

I'm currently trying to redesign a page so all the element positioning is done by using div tags, which the positioning information is held in css.

a problem I'm having is that I end up with blank spaces at the bottom of the page with nothing in, which makes the page blank at the bottom, but doesn'ts really pose any other problem.

Does anyone know if there is a work around for this?

I just thought I'd add.

I didn't have the problem until i started using relative positioning, because i wanted to have the content in a fix width div that was centered in the page.

It's is your positioning, doing this
POSITION: relative; TOP: -1275px; HEIGHT: 60px
will leave a space in it's original position and you have done this with more of your elements.
You need to construct a 3 column css and then place (most) of the divs in the normal flow.

There are validation errors, including two extra closing div tags.

thanks

i used relative positioning because I wanted the page to appeared centered, I'm assuming css coloumns are relatively easy to implement?

i had checked the div tags thinking the right amount were there and then my work mate reconned i needed an extra one so we were both wrong
