Hello,
My problem is, i have the website above and each page is basically the same size, BUT the faqs page is huge. I have a left nav bar and in most pages it's fine, but if you go to the frequently asked questions page the page is huge and although the navbar will go allt he way down the text from the content area (the white space) will then travel over to hte navbar. what type of CSS would i use to make sure the text/content area is always in the white area and not going over to the navbar part?

Help would be great

Kill the frames and popups, ASAP.
And how the hell do you get to the FAQ page?

It doesn't make sense though to me how it can be out of the area if you're already using an iframe with a height attribute and by default it makes a scrollbar and constrains it in a fixed position. The markup must be significantly different on the FAQ page, maybe the height attribute value is not the same? Or are you not using a frame for the left side content area? Those two would be my only guess.

Curious - was it just making the container element contain the float?

well i had this guy help me and we did the site a little differently so it worked. But yea it had to do with floats and how i was defining each content area.

If you used a float it's like inserting a picture, things will flow around it. You need to set a size for your main container, be it percentages, pixels, or em's. Or you can use negative margins, margins, and padding.

Easiest way is just float two "boxes" next to each other inside of a main container. That way, the menu will take up it's width, and the content will take up what's left over all the way to the bottom. (no flowing around the menu)
