New question....

I'm having a problem with the container, it isn't stretching to fit the height of the sidebar. What's going on? :\

CODE

If you're going to float one thing, you should really float everything. Also, you can't use float:; if you also use position:; - only one is allowed. Top, right, bottom, and left are only used for position:; so I changed top: 270px; to margin: 270px 0 0 0; and bam, all's clear. :)

I'm assuming this is what you're looking for?

Side note: I can not, for the life of me, get that header image to load. Maybe it's just my internet, or maybe it's way to large a file? Might wanna mess with that if it is really a problem.

(Also, please use codebox for longer codes. happy.gif )
