Page height

[patmcc76]

Can anyone tell me why I can't get the background (white) to cover the whole page. It's the background for .container2 which should envelope the rest of the content but it doesn't seem to.

Many thanks.

forgot the height:368px;in the .main

.main { width:980px; height:368px;padding:0; margin:0 auto; background:green;}
.container {width:980px; height:900px; margin:0 auto; background:yellow}
.container2 {width:980px; height:auto; margin:0 auto; background:#fff}

Hmmm - just tried that (link now updated with above change). Still the same though.

change the color the quickest way
TO b6b6b6
.main {width:980px; height:568px; padding:0; margin:0 auto; background:#b6b6b6;}

i did not use the link
< link href="http://www.allendesign.ie/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
i put it in
<style>
</style>
in the page

try it then you will find out

try take this line out
if the last post don't work---------
i have tryed it with the link
//.FBG { height:85px; padding:10px 0; margin:0 auto; background:url(http://www.allendesign.ie/css/images/shadow.gif) top center repeat-x;}

<div class="FBG">
</div>

That didn't do it either. I'm just wondering why the body background #b6b6b6 is taking over the whole page when I've set background colors (test colors at the moment) for the container2 and main divs.

It seems to work in IE but not in firefox.

Suggestions???

Erm.. fix your errors.... see them here (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.allendesign.ie%2Fcss%2Fstyle.css&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en)

There are HTML errors too, but that wont effect your layout.
