Thank you, but I'm not crazy about "spry" anything.  Are there other ways to do this?

Thank you Nancy.  I will look at this further.  I already have a fixed

top and nav bar (thanks to you).  Might there be a way to have a

"sticky" side bar so when a viewer goes down to the links, the side bar

might be wherever the viewer scrolled to on the page?  Am I asking for

the moon?

Nancy,

You have been a great help and I have made much progress.

I have created a fixed header/footer from your sticky code successfully.

I have created your 3 column semi-liquid layout successfully.

I have created links to DIV IDs on the same page.

    which works "sort of" i.e., Latest Updates and Go To Top links (see

    http://www.justletmelearn.org/3col_test1.html)

    Because I have a fixed header, my mainContent has a top margin of

    141px which complicates the links.

    Is there a work around for this?

Then I tried a fixed left column using your sticky code.  It works but

the left sidebar formatting is all different and it pushes the right

sidebar up.  (see http://www.justletmelearn.org/3col_test2.html)

_Is it possible to use a fixed left column and get it to look like the

left and right sidebar formatting before I added the fixed code?

_

Thanks Nancy.  I hope you know you're helping the kids of India because

you're helping me . . .

Nancy,

I have added section divs and it corrected the positioning problem.  I

also gave padding  of 175px to the left sidebar and right sidebar. 

Everything is working well and is formatted as I want it. (see

http://www.justletmelearn.org/3col_test1.html )

When I tried to add your sticky code to cause the left sidebar to be

fixed as the user scrolls up and down, it works but the formatting of

the left sidebar completely changed. It appears to be fixed to the left

margin instead of liquid like it was before. (see

http://www.justletmelearn.org/3col_test2.html )  Can I have the

functionality of your sticky code AND have left sidebar formatting look

as it does in the http://www.justletmelearn.org/3col_test1.html file?

Thank you,

Sandy

Thanks Nancy although I was very disappointed it couldn't work.  I tried

several possibilities and nothing worked.  I guess I would save a lot of

time, if I would just listen to you.

I am continuing with your 3 Column Semi Liquid Layout.  Both of the

sidebars have gray backgrounds, but the background color only goes as

far as the content goes.  Is there a way to stretch the background color

of each sidebar so it reaches the footer no matter how much content is

there?

Thanks Nancy for the equal-height instruction from Matthew James Taylor.  I got it to work.  Now I have the challenge to combine all the other things I'm doing (fixed header/footer etc) with his code for the columns.

One more thing Nancy.  Do you work with Word Press?  And if so, do you hire out to help us put embedded blogs on our site?  We're running short on time and I'm seeing there will be quite a learning curve to code the blogs part.

Thanks so much, Nancy for all you've done for us.

Oh my!  What an easy fix.  The Faux Columns work just great.

I have attempted to set up a blog using Word Press. 

http://www.justletmelearn.org/blog/  Dean and I are the only people who

can write on the blog.  It has the general idea but doesn't look like

the pages on the web site.  We would like to have our blog(s) within the

web site using our header/footer etc.  Like one for each project page -

either within the page in one of the sections or a separate page from a

link on the project page.

I think one of your web pages addresses this:

I just haven't had the time to get to this and would appreciate help

with this.

Thank you,

Sandy
