Building Include To Act Correctly

[wmabear]

Hi it's me again

 

Here is the situation I am working my way around all 4 sides of the page, all to be built using includes. There will be a header include, a footer include they will basically stay the same unless I need to make changes logo or whatever.

 

In the left and right there are columns, the infomation in these will be fixed length and I want it to stay at the top of the column. The way it is now when I fill in the center of the page which will very the length of the right and left columns, the text in the columns centers to the length of the columns. I want the text to alway's stay at the top of the columns.

 

Here is the test page that I am testing with

Here's what happens when the center of the page is long

Here is the file for the left column.

 

<div id="Layer9" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:30px; width:150px; height:733px; z-index:9; background-color: #669999; layer-background-color: #669999; border: 1px none #000000; visibility: visible;">

Would it be as simple a converting the layer to a table in DW when the page is short to hold it and then create a new layer under ist to do the auto stretching.

 

Any ideas

 

Thanks Mike

If you are using tables you can use:

><td valign="top">

to shuffle everything to the top of that column. Not sure offhand how to do it with CSS but I'm sure there's a way.
