the sidebar (at the left) doesnt stretch 100%, so the dark grey suddenly stops when theres no more information in the sidebar.

anyway to make it stretch 100% after the last bit of data?

view the link (Work safe) and youll see what i mean.

i basically need to set the height of the div to a % decided by the resolution of the user.

[e!] just like http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ which i cant get to work

[e! x2] im after this, i need the background to fill down 100% what a royal pain in the rectum it is.

[Vini]

can anyone tell me what this looks like in ie6

add this after .itemside in your CSS

.bottom {margin-bottom:100%;}

then update your div tag:

<div class="itemside bottom" id="google">

Only add bottom to the last black div tag area. This works in FF but i haven't checked it in IE. It could well mess things up in IE

[yamangman]

Position the element absolutely [position: absolute;] then you can specify how far from the bottom of the parent element the element sits [bottom: xpx/x%;].

ok. nearly there. the forum... i want to call soem functions in from wordpress. is this possible?

jamesvincent.co.uk/forum/

i need to call a function from one of my WP hacks. You will see on the left sidebar, that I am trying to get the Recent Posts/Links into the forum sidebar (taken from WP)

I've tried using:

<?php /home/jamesv/public_html/wordpress/c2c_get_recent_posts ($num_posts = 10,
$format = "%post_title%<br>",
$categories = '',
$orderby = 'date',
$order = 'DESC',
$offset = 5,
$authors = '',
$include_passworded_posts = false); ?>

and tried sticking the above function in a blank page called 'recentposts.php' and including it using:

<?php include ('/home/jamesvincent/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/vini/sidebar_recent.php'); ?>

but i get nothing, is this possible? i hope so.
