ok so it's a float problem.
but it also seems that the print style sheet is somehow having an effect on it.

try setting your css link references to media="screen" you don't have a delcaration there, that could be f'in' it up.

i was asking a serious question, i am outside of the web design world, i find it interesting...
i can see why people who are in the web field get "consistently" pissed off by comments such as yours when they are simply asking a direct and mature question.

...i was just wondering how your design process gets you to where you are in the end finished product.

(Sep 4 06, 07:10)I'm in a unique position whereby I design, develop and produce the whole thing. This is generally for 95% of the projects I do. The other 5 percent, are usually designed by other designers (web and print) and handed to me to develop. These are the ones that are usually more difficult to produce, and tend to be hindered by a lack of understanding of the development languages that will form it, and how these can be of benefit to usability (think AJAX).
I would say, that I create a vision in my mind of "function", and then apply some visual aesthetic to it. Ultimately I think function and usability are more important than style and come first - however, cool shit is cool shit, and it's got to look good. If you can design with usability on the mind from the outset (a skill which I think even the biggest agencies out there lack) then you are on to a winner.
There. That's probably the most I've ever said on design on this forum.

geezz..

i like how you dive into yourself and examine the stylization of the function being the skeleton of your design processes.
thanks for taking the time.
good luck on your site!!

Try clearing the floats, either by having a footer with a declaration in the style of clear:left; or insert just after the closing div for your right column. That is what I suspect the problem to be. Also as someone has mentioned before using height:100% does not work as divs expand to fit their content and not the screen.

(Sep 4 06, 18:57)Hey that worked!
Not sure why. Are you meant to clear floats?

Yes, that is why you were having the problem. But also remember that clearing your floats works in this case because all of your div widths are defined in pixels and not percentages. Percentage defined floated divs start acting up in IE when you try to clear them and then you've got to resort (in my experience so far) to hacks.

That's ok then because I rarely use %'s as a unit.
