    Utilizing Space on a webpage

    I am creating a site and have to use the following graphical layout that can be seen at this link: http://www11.brinkster.com/ksuchoc/Sample/Sample.html
    I am not concerned about the left bar what i am concerned about is being able to use as much of the white space for text as possible. Having the curved blue line at the bottom eats a lot of space up, I would like to either cut up the graphic or something to that effect so that I can utilize as much of the white space as possible, although the bottom graphic is actually 3 graphics side to side. What can i do?

    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Samples would be good.

    Thanks to all that reply.

    Hi,

    What you could use is CSS to position the wite box to the right of the screen

    VB Code:
    1. .HT_Override {
    2. position:relative;
    3. width:500px;
    4. height:500px;
    5. float:right;
    6. border:none;
    7. margin:0px 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    8. padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    9. }

    then simply override the body to give you the background.

    VB Code:
    1. .HT_Body {
    2. position:relative;
    3. background-image:url(image path);
    4. }

    this would work, adn it would stay static on all layouts (should)

    Try this adn se wht you get.

    hope this helps

    Or save yourself the headache and make the curve smaller. Make it more subtle, just two curves along the side should do fine, with the bottom part completely straight.

    OR, place your footer text in that space being 'wasted' with your text in the rest of the area.
