Lateral bar help!

Jun 26, 2005 4:03PM PDT

I'm designing a web site with two lateral bars that have the color theme of the site. I want this two bars to expand till the end of the page. I've tried using height="100%" but it's not a working option. Does anybody have any alternative solution?

the website is in www.starneuro.com/inicio.shtml and I want to expand the purple bars to cover 100% of the height of the page.

Thank You,

JMGB

I'd suggest layout with CSS -but since you already started with tables, just use the first and last table cell in the first row of your table for your purple bar and make it a rowspan to cover all the rows of your table.

It's incredible how we sometimes forget the more basic codes such as rowspan (after using colspan 4 or 5 times in the site). Thank You for your help.
