Make Sidebar On Right Touch Footer

I was wondering if anyone could tell me/point me in the right direction on how to make my sidebars always extend to the footer. Right now on my site, the right sidebar stops just short of the footer, and it's driving me nuts because I can't seem to balance them out. If I make the right one touch, the left one doesn't and so on and so forth.

my site is in my signature.

Thanks!:blink:

Re: Make Sidebar On Right Touch Footer

basically , that is side effect of DIV's , div heights ends when content of that div ends. there are number of ways to extend div heights , either by use of java script , or other much easier method called faux column. there are plenty of info on net about either of them .

It looks like most of your sideboxes have a very faint pink tint to them. If you give that same background-color to #navColumnOne and #navColumnTwo, it will look like the sideboxes go all the way to the footer.

OK, that stupid Template Monster template has changed the names of #navColumnOne and #navColumnTwo to #column_left and #column_right, so those would be the selectors to add the bg to.

I didn't even think about changing the column colors, wow. I feel dumb, haha.

Thanks, worked like a charm.
