 * well i’ve got my site working if there is alot of content on a certian page. 
   But if there isn’t to much the sidebar seems to go over top of the footer. Does
   anyone know how to make it to the id tags are dynamic so that they stretch the
   full height of the sidebar if need be?
 * here the link to the page that is having the problems.

 * I’m guessing some or all of your containing divs are floated. You can try this
   fix on the parent div that contains all of your floated divs:
 * `.clearfix:after {
    content: ".";  display: block;  height: 0;  clear: both;  
   visibility: hidden; }

 * That content is just what it seems. A full stop or period. However by upgrading
   it to block level with display block and setting clear both it will prevent the
   next element – commonly the footer – from appearing until both the content and
   the menu are done. This simple technique and others which are very similar, prevents
   untold borkage and is the key that holds two col floated schemes together.
