notclive

I have a navbar on the left side of my site, and i want it to be as long as the whole site. In my css page i have this code p.navbar {text-align:'center';position: 'absolute'; top: '0px'; left: '0px'; width: '175px'; height: '100%'; background:'#adc3f5'} but this only makes my navbar the height of the screen, i thought 100% would make the bar as tall as the site, how can i get the navbar's height to adjsut to the height of any page?p.s. should this be in the css area sorry if it should.
