The trickiest part of your layout is the non-uniform borders, which might make things look weird with odd heights/widths.

i decided to just make straight left and right edges to make it look ok..

i still don't know how to make the part under the bottom pencil expand along with the content box though~ :S

try min-height:100%;
for the menu container div, and the div inside it that's under the menu

the only problem with that is that it usually has to have a parent container element that has a specified height, which this one doesn't. xD

it probably won't work. it should expand it to 100% of the screen height that contains the page. or more if there's more content than that.

min-height works on the container and settings. Using min-height: 100% on a div inside another div which has a height of 800px will result in the inner div having a height of 800px as well.

Inception plot was stolen from CSS.

ah, didn't see he had a specified height for the container. it should work then.
but just use min-height:100%; for the div under the menu, don't use it for the container then.

lol inception. it's a div inside a div inside a div, and every one steals the rules from the previous one, but with a twist!

Un-related to your plight: is Dreamweaver still being updated and sold? Is there an alternate product that has become the standard? Thanks, and good luck with the site.

-.-

You want to do the exact same thing as with your border in the content box, you need to create an image with 1px height that repeats until you're at the bottom of the page.

So it's basically a variation of your .content:

.content {
background-image:url(url to 1px high image that will repeat verticaly);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}

oh man i've run into the problem of this too. if i have too little content in the content_rep div (the repeating texture) then there's a huge ass gap between the bottom of the content box and the bottom of the thingy.

FFFFFFFFFF
