Alright, good. I think what's what I did and, and set the vertical height of the divs to 100%. It seems to work pretty well. Except (in Firefox at least) there seems to be a glitch where when I manually resize the window smaller and then scrolldown, the borders disappear towards the bottom.

I tried that as well and it didn't seem to work. I think you're right, minute, it seems extremely difficult to pull off with pure CSS. I looked all over the place and couldn't find a way. The only way seems to be if the conent and consequently footer are taller than the browser window, so that it stops when you scroll to the bottom. Predicting how the Divs will react to each other is baffling to me, I have to get used to that.

Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll be back with plenty more questions.

By the way, I like the alternating signature quote, minute44.
