Hello dear DaniWeb members

I have a problem with the new site I´m making nad I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Well its because I have big content box where I´m keeping 2 news boxes in and a right box but when I put the boxes to have float left then the big content box which has a background color then it won´t follow the site all the way down it just stops showing but when I remove the float left then the big box follows as long as there is text?

Please help me :(

Here is my css

.content 
{
    background-color: #535353;
    width: 1099px;
}

.contentboxtop 
{
    background-image: url(../images/contentboxtop.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: #111111;
    width: 702px;
    height: 37px;
    color: #00aeff;
    margin-left: 20px;
    padding-top: 6px;
}

can u provide ur HTML files with both the cases? cause I didnt understand ur problem exactly. And if u want to learn about the basics of css n all u can study from HERE

kindly mention your website's link here so that i can undertant the issue more correctly

If you provide the link to your project or the html codes, it would be easy to figure out the problem and solution

try adding overflow:hidden to your content box
