    copied!<p>Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my css position. Basically I have a sidebar that is set to the left of the screen, which basically includes all my links for navigation. I want the sidebar to extend all the way to the bottom of the screen, no matter if the user minimizes or maximizes the browser, or their resolution. Even if the page happens to scroll I want the div to go all the way to the bottom. I'm having a lot of trouble with this and cannot get it to work correctly. Here is my code, if anyone spots the reason it is not working, any help is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="welcome"&gt; Welcome &lt;br&gt; to My Site!&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="color: red; "&gt;(Beta)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="index.php"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="Link"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="Link"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="Link"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="forumPage.php"&gt;Forum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id ="sidebar"&gt;&lt;a href="link"&gt;Requests&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="sidebar" &gt;&lt;a href="unity.php"&gt;"Pr0j3ct Un1ty"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;Logged in as: &lt;?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id = "sidebar" &gt; &lt;a href = "logoff.php"&gt;Logout&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a href="accountSettings.php"&gt;Account Settings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="margin-left: 10px; position: absolute; bottom: 0px; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;© jm1llz 2010&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>CSS Page:</p> <pre><code>#welcome { width: 15%; float: left; background-color: darkgrey; height: 100%; text-align: center; font-size: 24px; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-weight: bold; } </code></pre>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
