What do you mean? When I look at it in Firefox the content seems to be showing just fine.

What I mean is that I would like to have the page expand the full height of the screen, while keeping the DOCTYPE DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional or strict. So if the content of the page does not have enough content then to push the footer to the bottom of the screen the coding will do it no matter what. SO I need to have the

Code:

div#bd_primary

expand 100%height.

I tried adding 100% height to my container but it didnt work. If I remove the DOCType then it does work. I would like too keep the DOCType as it is imporant.

Do you always want the footer at the bottom of the screen, or do you want it to be "below the fold" if the content is longer? Try using "min-height" for your content area to let the footer go below the fold.

This won't work in IE6 though...you could try using an 'expression' in the CSS. There is a great explanation of emulating max-width in IE6 at Svend Tofte's site. It's not the same, but the idea is very similar.
