Setting one elment equal to another

[j0hnb]

I have two elements next to each other and I want them to both to resize there height but I want to make sure that if one expands that the other does. How do I link the two together?

Hi,

As Ben said the only element that will automatically equalise with another is a table cell. All other methods are illusions or tricks usually involving background images.

See the 3 column demo sticky thread for some other methods and more information

I was trying to rid myself of tables and go pure CSS, but this would fix my problem. With the current design there is no advantage to do pure CSS on that one segment of code so table it is. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the responce. Here are two images of the current layout. It doesn't show the problem because the content isn't expanding the box beyond the set limits. But you'll get the point. While your looking at it, any comments on the design and look of the site would be great. Thanks.

HI,

I'd just use a simple repeating background image to do this.

Similar to this:
http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/spointfooter.htm

Which uses a repeating image on the main container.

You will need to post in the website review section for comments on the design etc
