Hi Ben, That works perfect, I see what you've done there so no need to explain. Thanks for your help. Web Guru, I had a think about doing what you said with the background image, but I didn't really want to add one in where it wasn't necessary. I'd ideally want the whole skin in CSS where possible. Thanks for your help everyone, It all seems to be working now Regards Lewis

Hi Ben, I've reuploaded the files. The Min-height / max-height is basically doing the same as the 'height:' does, it's not making them stretch to the bottom. The idea behind this is that I want to code an eCommerce skin that can have multiple things added down the left plus the main content in the middle. Obviously some pages might have a lot of content on, so the left hand side needs to stretch inline with it all. Kind Regards Lewis

Hi Ben, Just tried that, but it hasn't worked Any other ideas? lol, this is driving me crazy! Regards Lewis

I've uploaded the files here so you can see... Click Here

Hey, Unfortunately that hasn't worked either... However, when I put that in, it almost looked like it was working. Dreamweaver shows it at full height stretched down as it should be but when It's loaded into firefox / ie, it's just displaying like it normally was. Regards Lewis

Hi pat24, I've just tried what you suggested. Unfortunately, thats aligned the whole site to the left and it hasn't fixed the problem. Any other ideas, It must be simple, but I've been looking at it for god knows how long and can't figure it out :'( Thanks for the help so far! Regards Lewis

Hi everyone, I'm doing some design at the moment and basing it around the 960 grid system. I've got a grid and the layout set out as I'd like it, but I'm trying to get it so that the grid_3 and grid_9 divs stretch all the way to the bottom of the page and always fill fully with a background colour. This may help further: <div class="container_12"> <!--Start Header --> <div id="header"> </div> <!--End Header --> <div class="clear"></div> <!--Start Menu --> <div class="grid_12" id="menu"></div> <!--End Menu --> <div class="clear"></div> <!--Left Column Start --> <div class="grid_3"> </div> <!--Left Column End --> <!--Main Content Start --> <div class="grid_9"> </div> <!--Main Content End --> <div class="clear"></div> <!--Footer Start --> <div class="grid_12" id="footer"></div> <!--Footer End --> </div><!--Container End Div --> Basically, the Left Column is going to have a solid green background colour, I want this to be a menu down the left hand side of the site and it needs to stretch inline with the main content area so that when theres a lot of content in the grid_9 div, the background colour stretches along side it. At the minute, the left column (grid_3) only goes down as far as the content in it... I've tried adding height: 100%; into my CSS, but it's not working. My CSS for this particular area is as follows; .grid_3, .grid_9 { display:inline; float: left; position: relative; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; } .container_12 .grid_3 { width:240px; background-color:#70b5cc; } .container_12 .grid_9 { width:720px; background-color:#FFF; } .clear { clear: both; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; width: 0; height: 0; } Any help you can give would be fantastic. Many thanks Lewis

Hi All, I'm currently working on an eCommerce template and I want to set it up with the 960 Grid System to make it so that I've got a template to work too on future projects. Once it's done once, it should be MUCH easier. I'm coding to the 24 column grid system, so I've got the following div layout: <div class="container_24"> <div class"grid_24">HEADER</div> <div class="grid_18">MENU LEFT</div> <div class="grid_6">SIDE BAR</div> (I then need this side bar to continue down the right hand side of the page) <div class="grid_18">MAIN CONTENT AREA</div> <div class"container_24">FOOTER</div> </div> Basically, I'm just a little bit confused as to how I can use the grid system when the right hand side of the page must be fluid whilst allowing other grids on the left. I hope that is explained ok... I may have written it in a confusing way! If a picture would help, I can draw it up in photoshop quickly? Any help would be great! Kind Regards Lewis

Hey, I'm still looking for a solution to this. I'm not sure if I explained myself very well in my first post. What I need is a link that takes me to a login form on another website and fills in my username and password, so that I don't have to type it in every time I go to their site. For example, if google had a login form on www.google.com and my username was Lewis, and the password was 123456, I'd want a link that was similar to: http://www.google.com/user-Lewis:password-123456/ (that obviously works). I know companies that design shipping cart systems do test logins so you can see the admin panel, and when you click on the link, it already fills in the username and password, however, I can't find one of these sites to copy the code. Can anyone help with this? Or can it not be done via a link? Regards Lewis

Hi again. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? Its always done on software sites where they give demos of the admin pages and it fills in the username and password automatically. Please help Thank you in advance! Kind Regards Lewis

Hi Everyone, I want to be able to login to a website without having to write in my username and password each time... How do I create a HTML link that when clicked on, it automatically fills in the username and password field on the site I want to login to, without me having to do it? Any help would be much appreciated! Kind Regards Lewis

Thanks for the tips. I've done a lot of eBay templates, but never an eBay store... Just wanted to see what the limits were. Thanks Lewis

Thanks for replying! Ok, having looked at that template though, they have things such as the products they are selling in boxes that scroll. I thought these were Javascript but I may be wrong there? The flash bit above I assume is allowed and just made by the company who did the template to fit that scheme? Are the top 5 items all done manually? Looking at it, it looks like you have to do a lot of work for eBay templates! Maybe thats why they aren't so cheap when other companies do them. Can you grab scripts from other servers and use them? For example grab a js script from my server? Kind Regards Lewis

Hello all, I've just been looking at an eBay template (link below) and I wondered how they actually make them like that: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Camping-Outdoor-and-Surf-Store When looking at most eBay templates, they are just a simple bar down the left and at the top, but the one above is all singing and dancing. From a graphics point of view, that is no problem, we can do that easily. But from a coding point of view, are you limited to everything? Can you call things such as categories in with PHP code? Or do you have to physically write each category in and but the link, what about products etc? Surely these are all automated and just within the script. Any help would be much appreciated... Cheers Lewis

Possibly, PM me what you need and I'll try to help you out. I'm off to sleep now as its 01:24 in the morning, but I'll be on tomorrow. Just got the wordpress section working, we will be launching a website very soon Kind Regards Lewis
