Non-resizing DIVs?

Gamer_2k4 · #1 09-Aug-2007, 10:14

I've been working on changing the layouts of a website from tables to CSS divisions. However, I'm pretty new at CSS, so I don't understand why I got a particular result.

Here's the original page, using tables:

Here's the new page, using divisions:

Code:

Here's the CSS file:

CSS Code:

.fig {  font-size: 9px; font-style: italic; text-align: center }
.foot {  font-size: 10px}
.nav {  font-size: 10px}
a:hover {  color: #FF0000}
a:link {  color: #000066}
a:visited {  color: #000066}
body {  background-color: #D0D0BF; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px}
h4 {  color: #CC3300; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px}
h5 {  color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px}

#wrapper {width:740px; height:600px;}
#header {height:80px; width:740px;}
#spacer1 {height:20px; width:740px;}
#sidebar {font-size:.85em; width: 130px; height: 265px; float: left;}
#content {width: 600px; height: 265px; background-color: white; float: right;}
#spacer2 {height:11px; width:740px;}
#footer {text-align:center; font-size:.85em; width: 740px; height: 62px;}
#spacer3 {height:265px; width:10px; float: left;}

Why isn't the content division resizing for the text, and what can I do to fix it?

Never mind, figured it out.

Are you using absolute positioning or widths with pixels/percentages?
