First off, here's the site: http://www.sidinginc.com
The problem is that if your screen resolution is too low, you can't see the entire page. Normally, you could scroll down... but that option doesn't seem to be available. I've checked and rechecked my code and can't figure out what's causing this. |

Right... but I don't want the left side to be its own element.
If the left side (the Copyright notice, for example) it off the bottom of the screen, I want the whole page to be able to scroll down. |

What browser are you experiencing this under? Does it occur for other browsers or just a single one?
The whole page itself scrolls just fine for me under IE5.5. However... CODE div#left { color: #FFFFFF; position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 170px; height: 100%; background-image: url(assets/sidebar_body.png); background-repeat: repeat; text-align: center; } Seems to be the culprit. Your use of 'position: fixed' is removing the vertical bars from scrolling. Perhaps you should try aligning the left menu inside a table rather than positioning through CSS. |

Using fixed is just asking for trouble. You need to nest the divs and set relative spacing for everything to work the way you want. |

Whooooa. Under Firefox 2.0.0.7 it doesn't scroll. Avoid position:fixed at all costs. It doesn't work well.

English isn't my native idiom.
Try to use percentage width:xx% and so on ; position:relative is useful most times... |

Absolute has often worked fine for me... of course in the standards compliant browsers, like firefox, opera and safari, but even in IE.
fixed gets all mixed up though. |
