Is there a way to link the height of div tags to one another? I have a site
I am working on, I have put 3 div tags in a table next to each other. In
the first I have P7 menu, the second is the body of text to change on each
page, and on the right a third column for additional links..

In the first column, I have set the background image to match the image in
the P7 menu. If I set the height to "auto", it will only be as long as the
menu and corresponding "body" divs will be longer when the text goes past
the height of the menu.

If I set a fixed height, I then limit my space for text.

So is there a way to match heights automatically of the 3 divs?

Thanks
gary

Hi Gary,

It can be a bit tricky but you could possibly accomplish this either by
using a repeating background image in all three <divs> or a combination
of using the equal height script by PV11 and image backgrounds.

Why are you putting your <divs> in a table?

have you googled 'Faux Columns'?

I did just yahoo faux columns (for whatever reason google refuses to load on
IE...but thats a question for another board), and read some things about it.

I am putting the divs in a table because I cant seem to get them to play
nice any other way.. if I try to put them in a wraping div, I can get two to
sit together, but the third refuses to join.. Its an issue I want to solve
but it is not critical for this site.

What I will probably end up doing is setting the height to a almost
rediculaus (oh come on...its a hard word to spell) height and fill the rest
with graphics..

But I still like to think of every problem as a learning expereince.

That was my first thought, but I made a wrapping div to 800, the total of
the 3 divs was under that, I had the first div flaoting left, same with the
second and the third was always lower.

I think I told you I recently started using divs at viriginia's suggestion,
plus I read they load faster, so I am still very much a novice with them. I
also have been mitrating from design view to code view, but having grown up
on using design, its a slow prcess., however one I want to accomplish.

When you say lower do you mean it is placed directly under the first
<div> or just not aligned to the top of the other two <divs>?

No, it is over to the right (float right) and down, almost (or perhaps)
exactly at the bottom of the middle div

Actually, the code is gone, I went the way of the div nested in a table
yesterday...got tired of fighting..

But next one I build I'll post it.

As always I appriciate you input.

Sounds like you to need read up on clearing floats. Once you have got
your head around them you will be on the road to success.

Well when the next lightning storm comes by and I plug it in, I'll drop you

And it was like that in all browsers or only in IE?
Because if it is the latter it could have been a simple margin issue
(sometimes IE doubles margin on floats) or due to the content of the DIVs.
Next time you give this DIV layout a shot, make sure to use
"display:inline;" on DIVs that are floated *and* have a margin too (both in
the same direction).
If this still doesn't fix your problem, use "overflow:hidden;" on the DIVs
to find out if the problem does not come from a nested element.
