weird vertical expansion

csmaster2005 · 06-17-2004, 12:57 PM

ok guys, I have another problem with this...
Just so ya know, I didn't make the template, because if I did I could of solved all these problems myself
(Also, photoshop and dreamweaver suck at exporting... their html is horrible, which is what the person that made me the template used)

Anyways, I noticed that if my content area goes off the screen, the left menu and bottom footer get distorted.
To see what I mean, goto:
http://feras.revhost.net/scriptdownloads/test2.php

That link looks normal, because the text doesn't go off the screen. Now if you look at
http://feras.revhost.net/scriptdownloads/test.php
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/34524-weird-vertical-expansion.html

You can see that the whole site(left menu and footer) get distorted and look absurd.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
P.S. - If I find alot more things like this... I'm gona trash the html code and make my own that works correctly I'm a php programmer but doesnt mean I dont know html!

the content and the menu are using the same table so the table enlarges to fit in the extra text.

I would suggest changing it so the content is in a different table than the menu

yea, I know but there should be another way to fix it w/o having to add another table right?
I will rewrite the html later, but right now im busy trying to finish the php for all this

If you want to do it for me... go ahead and thanks
