I can't make div to expand until the bottom of its parent div?

I'm no CSS guru, but if I remember correctly it's because the height property is in relation to the elements parent element. In that case it means you have to set the size of the parent element as well, either with an actual value or with a percentage, if you do set a percentage that has to be in relation to it's parent too So in your example as far as I can see you have html > body > #content > #mainbar all of which needs the height: 100% I hope it fixes it Edit: I found this link that might help you too.

The easy way to do this, if both columns are going to be white, is to change the container HTML like so: Maecenas nisl quam, volutpat ut tincidunt quis, rutrum quis nibh. Nulla est nunc, pellentesque ac dictum ac, condimentum convallis odio. Left Column Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Maecenas quis cursus ipsum. Sed sed justo ac dolor scelerisque commodo id ac nunc. Maecenas quis massa metus, id consectetur sapien.

Integer quis nunc porta purus sollicitudin vestibulum eu quis lacus. Vestibulum sollicitudin, turpis a interdum condimentum, lorem nulla consequat purus, a porttitor risus nunc eu felis. Suspendisse mattis justo at nibh aliquet pulvinar.

Nulla facilisi. Maecenas nisl quam, volutpat ut tincidunt quis, rutrum quis nibh. Nulla est nunc, pellentesque ac dictum ac, condimentum convallis odio.

Quisque vitae mauris quam. Suspendisse potenti. Aliquam sit amet ante lectus, sed placerat augue.

Proin quis convallis felis. Sed nec urna id nulla ultricies varius non et leo. Vivamus mollis porttitor metus sit amet faucibus.

Vestibulum placerat ante in est egestas viverra. Fusce elementum ante eu libero condimentum eget sagittis felis gravida. Nunc ac orci vel urna tempus sodales.

Vivamus mollis porttitor metus sit amet faucibus. Vestibulum placerat ante in est egestas viverra. Fusce elementum ante eu libero condimentum eget sagittis felis gravida.

Nunc ac orci vel urna tempus sodales. Right Column Pellentesque faucibus est eu tellus varius in suscipit augue dapibus. In turpis ligula, faucibus eu mollis non, tincidunt ac magna.

Integer tempor laoreet lacus, non accumsan ligula eleifend a. Nulla vitae tortor mauris. Fusce dapibus ultrices nibh id dignissim.

Phasellus eget nibh ac quam rutrum mollis at vitae nisl. Morbi ultricies tristique tortor sed elementum. Vivamus id neque et lectus commodo tempor.

Integer tincidunt, nunc ac hendrerit vestibulum, orci nisl commodo odio, a tempus leo libero nec sapien. Praesent a urna non diam mollis tristique. Duis nec elit lorem, vitae tristique nisi.

Proin vel nulla in lectus consequat luctus ut et velit. I've added styles inline for speed but obviously you can move them into the stylesheet.

Like so: #content . Container { background: #F9F9F9 } This will solve the problem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
