HTML, BODY full height

Why doesn’t my html and body go the full height of the page? I’ve already tried making it “height: 100%;” via CSS but the 100% doesn’t go 100% of the page?! :frowning: I have heard the DOCTYPE XHTML has something to do with it, but how can a find solution for it? because I have a <div> that is a parent of another <div> but the child is longer than the parent, and it makes it look really screwed up… here is a pic of what I’m talking about:
The small rectangle is the screwed up part…

100% height has to be done pretty carefully with CSS, and has a lot of restrictions. Check out this link for the lowdown on what’s involved:

See if that helps, and preferably post a live link if you need more help. :slight_smile:

Never mind, it seems like there was a strong tag that I forgot to close, and it was screwing everything up, but thanks for those links, it’ll come good for reference material. :slight_smile:
