[RESOLVED] [2005] Height inside a contentplaceholder

[space_monkey]

Hey, I'm working on my first site with a master page, and i'm trying to get a div inside the contenplaceholder to have a height of 100% or from the bottom of the banner to the bottom of the page. Is there a way to make the contentplaceholder stretch the length of the page?

ContentPlaceHolders do not have a height or width. They are not html elements and are simply used for design purposes. Since the default in 2005 is FlowLayout, dimensions are adjusted based content.

If you really need to see them in a wysiwyg fashion, switching to Grid Layout might help (sorry i don't remember how to do that) or set the dimensions of the placeholder's parent/container element (but I don't think Height affects placeholders).

(sorry i don't remember how to do that)

Tools-> Options-> HTML Designer (in the TreeView) -> CSS Positioning. Now in the right pane, check the first checkbox. Sorry, don't remember the exact statement.

Thanks for responding. What i ended up doing was wrapping the the content placeholder in a div and using CSS to make it look like i wanted. Took me awhile to figure out how to get the div to 100% height but with a little help i got there.
lol i'm really not sure why i didn't think of it yesterday, guess it had been a long day.


thanks again.
