Website Background unable to stretch to bottom.

You can use a conditional comment for this http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html but this needs to be within the code of the page, not in a stylesheet.

But you could apply this around a <style> tag in the header of a site.

ok..that's how it shows it on that website too...didn't work when I tried it though

Should it work if I enter it into my overall layout in the design tab in Actinic?
It didn't seem to

*wanders off to try again*

w00t

FIXED it!!

big thanks to Louise (as always) and thanks go to Gabe for the solution!!

His reply in Post 2 hit the nail on the head, as ever!

Gotta love forum searches...once you know what to search for

[TraceyHand]

ooh, ok, thanks Norman, I'll try that.

I realise it makes the site much bigger but luckily it's only a small site (this time) so it doesn't concern me so much.

Will certainly give that a go though

Hang on Tracey. I'm having trouble getting that to work as it used to in HIZA.

[TraceyHand]

for some reason that isn't working for me

created 2 new variables.."initial" and "top level" values (in case it preferred one over the other) of <!-- and --> as suggested. Inserted into layout as follows

<actinic:variable name="StartComment" />[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
/* some css fixes for IE browsers */
html {overflow-y:hidden;}
body {overflow-y:auto;}
#bg {position:absolute; z-index:-1;}
#content {position:static;}
</style>
<![endif]<actinic:variable name="EndComment" />

but it doesn't work in IE6 again now (as if the code isn't there)
Did I do something wrong? (emoticon of the day LOL)

LOL too late

not working for me in HFUA but good to know it isn't just me!

[NormanRouxel]

My tweak above only works between <script ...> and </script> tags. You need it if you want to comment out your JavaScript (good practice) but use Actinic Variables within the code.

I'll delete that post to avoid confusion.

Post http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=21151 has some solutions regarding conditional comments.

[TraceyHand]

oh, so it won't work in this case then, presumably?

will take a look at that other post too, thanks, Norman

[TraceyHand]

ok..tried both solutions in that thread.

The solution in post 6 lost my scrollbar again in FF which would imply that it didn't work at all? (again!)

the javascript solution didn't work either, giving me all sorts of garbage at the top of the page.

Will try again with a fresh brain (err...tomorrow, perhaps!) in case it's just me
