some Q's for my layout

[Bobby_S]

hi guys!!

I don't manage to get it as I want:
testpage= http://www.bobbysmiles.com/temp/test/test2.htm

What I want to change:
- logo image, left align (that's already ok), but vAlign bottom.
- banner iamge, right align, also bottom
- the gray spacer at the left should extend as far as the main text goes
- same for the right spacer
- 'Privacy Policy' should have a vAlign middle.

I've already tried lotsa things, but can't get it right.
Someone can help me please? Many thanks!

[andyshep]

validated in in ie,firefox ns now
and corrected

also altered code ..found some errors.

when declaring values put them all in quotes i.e.

align = "left" or width = "100"

does it look how you wanted?

Hi again!

it's not quite what I had in mind
I'd wanted it to something like:

Ooops, attach didn't work, check here:

ok hehe,

try this one (attached).

ive added a border to the content ( text ) area to produce the color at the bottom instead of a separate div for it ,made it a lot easier to produce.

andy

[Bobby_S]

hehe, much better! But problem now is that left and right space are fixed height 210px.
What in case there is a lot of content on the page ...

[andyshep]

ok...

to have the left and right spacers expand with the content they
have to be placed inside the content div and the give them a height
value of 100%.
( need to be inside because the height is inherited from the
containing div)

i had to play with the float attributes in the divs that are
contained within the .content class to get them to sit correctly.

also i had to change the h1 in the .insert div to h2 otherwise
it will inherit the other h1 values.

one other thing is the green bottom border extends past the
left/right spacers. is this ok?

it may be difficult to have it so the border does not extend
to the spacers ( easy to put in there but making sure its
always at the bottom of the content div could be difficult)
