Okay, I'm trying to figure out this "Using CSS instead of tables for site design" thing, and it's quite nifty.
How do I make the side borders always go all the way to the bottom div, no matter how long the content in the main div or the size/shape of the window? I tried setting body, sidebar, and content divs to height:100%, but that made the page scroll past the bottom of the screen. That's not what I'm wanting.
Ideas?
ETA: (4-13-06) Got it. Woo. CSS is cool. It does put a bit more padding at the bottom of the main area than I want when there's lots of content there, but that's acceptable. (Also, I can solve it by splitting the long content into other pages.)

The reason I'm starting with www.montanawomenvote.org instead of www.wordinc.org is that the MWV site has a drastically simpler layout. It'll be my practice, then I'll start futzing with the WORD site.
