Okay I am trying to do two things that are currently kicking my rear.

1) I am trying to get the menu colors to extend down to the bottom. The table holding the menu isn't that big so unless I make a specific table for every page I can't figure out how to do that.

Example

2) I am trying to justify the text and the pictures on pages with multiple images as much as possible without putting the pictures in their own column within a table. Currently I am just putting a LOT of
tags within the <span> tag of the image to push the text away from inbetween the images. Crude but it works. Is there a simplier more efficient way?

Can't you set the height of the table at "100%"?

on the multiple br, I'm not sure what you're trying to do or how it's supposed to look but maybe you're thinking about using clear attribute with the
tag.

examples
<br clear="all">
<br clear="left">
<br clear="right">

depending on whether the images are to the left or right... or both.

Oh I have trouble reading the menu column due to the black text on gray background. Please consider using more contrast between the foreground and background.

Apparently yes and no.

Consider yourself lucky Vinh I was about to have to kiss you.

If I add another table at the bottom of the one I am using as a nav bar and set it's height to 100% it works in Firefox and Netscape, just makes a little space in Opera and Safari and goes to total shit in the old mac version of IE.

I also tried just adding a row to the table I am using and clearing the height attribute for it while specifying heights on the other rows again the the above results.

If I didn't specify heights for the text rows they would expand out to fill the page.

I actually briefly played with using a "fixed" command on the menu table but ran into another problem. If the menu is longer then the screen you can get to the bottom part of the menu without scrolling down the entire page.

As far as what I am talking about on the images take a look at this page:

example 2

See how the text flows under the pictures once it is past a certain point. I am trying to get it to view the space under the photos as off limits. Maybe it is just me but I find the text moving in and out from between pictures kind of disconcerting. I would rather it flow in a nice neat column.

I don't think the "clear" attribute will do what I want. It appears to only go to the left or right of an image not below it.

Actually I am now looking at putting a bottom margin in my css line for images. I get the desired effect though each page would have to be tweeked depending on the length and number of photos.

Too bad there isn't a command to say "leave the space below clear unless there is a "img" tag.
