div height problem

Question

Hi

I have header, Mastercontianer and footer for my site.

I have 2 containers inside master container A(left) + B(right)

As the B container fills up , 'A' container doesn't move.

Is there any way to fill up A container with some color?

Thanks in advance

Hi, there's many ways to achieve this using CSS.

The simplest solution is to use something called "Faux columns". This basically means that your maincontainer has a background image which is the full width and 1 pixel high. The background image is then repeated on the y-axis meaning that your columns appear to stretch consistently as the height of the main container is pushed by your A & B divs.

Here's a simple tutorial which covers this approach:
