I hope someone can help me here.....I'm not sure what I did to make this
happen, but it started at some point when I was working on the home page.
The site is at www.sandiagrotto.org and if you scroll down you'll see that
this page and a few others have "length" problems. I have no idea what
happened. All the pages had nice flat bottoms and after doing something on
the homepage all the columns got whacked out, and subsequent attempts to fix
the problem just messed it up more and started to mess up more pages. I
think it may be in the left column or right column, which is included
content. I may have changed the leftcolumnnav.htm page that it get's it's
info from, but I'm not sure. Basically, the columns aren't automatically
adjusting their own length. Please help.
Thank you
 
What is all this?

Not sure, but for beginners, "please" reduce the file size for the animation.
It is currently 8021084 bytes ( that's 8mb ) in size and takes forever to load, even on DSL.

Also, why is the dog upside down??

I have no idea, I don't know if that's part of the problem or not.....what I
think is happening is the left column, where I have my included content
(nav), may be causing the problem. I don't exactly know how I did it, it was
an accident, but when I designed the page originally, somehow I got that left
column image to repeat itself downwards so that when I would enter long
pieces of info in the center larger column the left and right columns would
lengthen also and I guess it was repeating the image of the topo map. But
now I did something to that left column page and it's just static now and
won't stretch itself downwards with the rest of the page.
 
Yes, you guessed it...it's bat dog.

And you're also right about me being a beginner, and I must have had
beginners luck because know I don't know what to do about the column heights.
I'm narrowing it down though, when I started having problems I think I
deleted a couple of the 1px gif's that I think have something to do with the
autostretch and I think it was autostretch that was making those outside
columns stretch down when I added content to the center column on the pages.
But know I can't figure out how to get the autostretch working again, I've
applied it to different columns with no luck.....does the page I get the
included content from for the left nav column need the autostretch? I tried
that, but when I go back to the homepage the left column is still static.
 
Also, the page looks great in frontpage "Design", but when previewing it, it
changes severely.
 
OK, fixed it! The problem turned out to be a "doctype" that I added to some
pages. Took about 8 hours to find that simple solution. My columns all
looked good in "design" view, but when viewing in a browser.....not good! I
had put the doctypes in to validate those pages and low and behold, that's
what was screwing my site up.
And also, thanks for the download time criticism.....I don't know if it was
intended to be constructive or demeaning, but either way I got all my pics
and gifs resaved as small as I could, and it's about 1/5 the download time
that it was. Thanks for pointing that out, I have a smoking fast conection
and don't always think about those things.

Thanks again,
Alan
 
It was meant to be constructive.
I have DSL that downloads at 180 or better and it was slooooow.
