But I would have black all between the links and main div, and it just wouldnt go the styles sheet is at www.318desprairies.com/styles.cssBUT... i'm giving up on that for now but if someone had the time to just look for a second as to why the .con div wouldnt wrap around it... but can someone help me with the below..Ok here's the basic setup a Fixed header 950px wideA fixed left links area say 150px wide,A fixed body main page of 800px wideand a fixed footer with a width of 950pxThe only thing I want to have scrolling is the Main pageI want it all wrapped in one div so I can make the background in that div white, and have the background of the site black.Also I think the height of the body needs to be 100% so it can fit on any size screen, but I want the width fixed.Thanksif I need to make a few changes to the px I can no problem but Just need help with the initial setup.ThanksAll I want is the header to always be the same, and the footer. i just want the body main to scroll.Can someone help me set this up? i'll build the rest of the site from there.For reference, The site I am working on is www.318desprairies.com password is 318DPL (after you click Englsih) So you can see the setup I am trying to accomplish. but since I changed the background to black everything got messed up and now someone told me I should of built it using %'s.
