css

I need to have a vertical bar that is a little longer than the "body text" of the page, that seperates the "link menu" from the "body text". And at the bottom our logo image.

I am using style sheets.
The problem of course is that the page looks good in I.E. (5.0 PC) but in Netscape (4.7 PC) the vertical bar image is not long enough and the logo at the bottom is too far down.


What I would like is to have the vertical bar exactly as long as needed and the logo image to be under it.

Is there a way to get this with just html and css?

Home is index_new.html not index.html (for now)

Thank you

I "decrease font" on Netscape.
That helped a lot.

How do I avoid having user have to adjust their font size?
should I set the font size?

Also if I resize the window the text overlaps the images.
Is there a way to avoid this?
I am using "absolute" positioning, because I can not get the some of images to line up with "position:relative;"


Thank you
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

It looks like something you can do pretty simply using a table that has one tall height=100% cell that has a specified background color and is very, very narrow.

Does that make sense, or do you need an example?

Cheers,
Edward
