Bottom Bar underneath sidebar

[sde]

put a bgcolor attribute in the cell that has: width="220"

example:

<table>
<tr>
  <td width="220" bgcolor="#F3F3F3">

OK, I am now trying your code. Basically I have a topbar, sidebar, and bottombar - a page for each and then I include all those files. So I removed all the style sheets for those pages (my mistake to put them there) and then I put all the style tags in my .css file. However, not everything is working now. Specificaly
a.side{
text-decoration: none;
}

If I put the style sheets on each page then it works. But I don't want to have to type it on each page. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't the css file I'm including work?

you need to put all the CSS in style2.css

body{
  font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
}
td {
  font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
}
#mySideNav {
  border-right: 1px solid #000000;
}
#myTopNav {
  border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
}
a.side{
  text-decoration: none;
}

a.side:visited,a.side:link,a.side:active {
   color: black;
}

a.label{
  color:#0000FF;
  text-decoration: none;
}

also, you should really look into asp includes if you are having to type the header in every page.

like i said before, view source is a great tool for debugging .. all i did was look up your style sheet name, then pulled up the style sheet in the browser window. that showed that you did not have any of your a.side classes defined. ( or anything else besides body and description )

Thanks, I'm begining to get it to work, and to understand a little better. But I still have another question (I hope it's ok?)
On my screen which is 1024x768 I need to scroll for the end of the solid topbar. But why do I need to if the large image is 800? Then the bottom bar, if I scroll there is whitespace on the right. But if I enlarge my screen to the largest then the graphic is there and there is no white space. How can I fix that?
Thanks

OK, I think I figured out the problem with the yopbar, I'm just not sure how to fix it. I think it's the second row in the table which is a line of buttons. I made a blank button to tile but I think that's the problem, it doesn;t seem to be working.
Thanks

I figured it out! Thanks

download firefox and look at it. there are lots of firefox users these days. doesn't look like it's picking up your style sheet.

I know, I was looking at how can I fix that? Also I was at work yesterday and it looked great. Now I'm at home on a small screen 800x600 and it looks terrible! You have to scroll to the right but there is nothing there except the bottom bar!
