Problem with <div> height - Controlling flow from center div

  #1  
May 18th, 2005
Hi All

I am hoping someone can help me out since this is driving me nuts.

On my site I have 3 columns:

Help with Code Tags 
|sidebar|    content    |sidebar|
What I want to do is have the height of the 2 sidebars controlled by the height of the content. So instead of:

Help with Code Tags 

|side|  content   |side|
|    |  content   |___ |
|___ |  content
         content

I have:

Help with Code Tags 
|side |  content  |side |
|     |  content  |     |
|     |  content  |     |
|     |  content  |     |

This hasn't been a problem so far I was working with fixed length heights of 700px but now I have content that is getting bigger than the 700px limit and the just looks bad with the side bars not matching the rest of the content.

The site is: www.geekserv.com

If anyone can give pointers I would appreciate it. Please note I don't want to end up using tables or frames this site has to remain 100% xhtml and css.

Thanks in advance for any help.
