 * Okay, this is driving me nuts.. and, basically, I’m being told it can’t be done
   in CSS. 🙁
    My main site is at [http://www.wickedmuse.net.](http://www.wickedmuse.net.)
   It looks okay, because the #content is longer than the #menu. However, click 
   on any single post title to get a single post. Now the #menu is longer than the#
   content and I can’t get the black box from #content to go down to the end of 
   the page to wrap around the menu so it doesn’t look stupid. I think it has to
   do with the #menu being position: absolute, but I can’t get it to go there any
   other way. My CSS is at [http://www.wickedmuse.net/wp/wp-layout.css](http://www.wickedmuse.net/wp/wp-layout.css)
   Is there ANY way to fix this?

 * Thank you, Root. 🙂 I’ll take a look. I hope it fixes my issue! I did see a page(
   listless) with a long menu and the content stretching so maybe this is it! (dares
   to hope) 😉

 * Yes this is pretty basic CSS float positioning but it can be difficult to get
   your head around when you are starting out. With a decent template you will be
   fine.

 * Well, it LOOKED like what I could use, but it’s giving me a headache. 😉
    I don’t
   want a column border on the menu…. and the border I put around the #rap seems
   to be overwritten with the background color until I scroll the page. Very strange.
   I’ll keep working on it. 😛 Ye gods, trying to merge my html and the template
   html as well as trying to merge the css is enough to make a person cry.

 * Still have the disappearing border problem.. until I scroll the screen, that 
   is. But only in Mozilla… any ideas?

 * I don’t see anything disappearing – using FF.9.3 – where should I be looking 
   in particular ?

 * Sorry. try here, podz. [http://www.wickedmuse.net/index3.php](http://www.wickedmuse.net/index3.php)
   I’m not working on the site directly since I didn’t want to break anything.

 * hmm…very odd
    In the css is this : #hmenu { margin: 0; padding 0; } Does the 
   missing : after padding affect things at all ?

 * Okay, I’ve sinced moved it live, having decided that the niggling little border
   thing was better than the menu that extended beyond the bottom of the content.
   Main page is [http://www.wickedmuse.net/index.php](http://www.wickedmuse.net/index.php)
   and the css is at [http://www.wickedmuse.net/wp/wp-layout.css](http://www.wickedmuse.net/wp/wp-layout.css)
   
   Thanks for any tips on the border deal… it may just be a Firefox thing, but I’d
   really like to fix it if at all possible.

 * Yes its a FF rendering bug. Incurable AFAIK. Better in later releases. (slightly)
