How do I make my website's menu sidebar fill up the entire side area?

This is my website http://www.sabertoothedchicken.com/
Notice how the menu sidebar only fills the tiny area surrounding the  menu text? Yeah, I don't like that. I want it to fill up the entire side  area (apart from where the headbar and footbar are), like they've got  on a lot of other sites I've seen (Examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.deviantart.com/ ). How do I do that?

On second thought, I think you should visit here

You need to get some basic html/css skills.

  • How do I make my form (list/menu) items open in the same window (self).

    Hello, the kind, brilliant people on this forum have always been able to help me in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try today. Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment? I selected the entire form "red dotted line" around the list and changed the "target" in the properties menu to "self". Then I selected everything on the page and still not correct. I am inserting the code below. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
    CODE BELOW:
    <form action="" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" class="style26" id="form1">

    Looks like it still isn't working. When I removed those items the drop down menu stopped working as well. I went ahead and posted yours as the correct answer. I'm convinced it's my skill level. i'm gonna do some javascript searches to see where the js code should go, it's very confusing to me. Here is that code in case anything sticks out to you or anyone else.

  • How can I make a pull down menu in I web

    how can I make a pull down menu in I web?

    You can't do this directly in iWeb itself and it is quite complex - you need to use third party software and it is a matter of pasting code into the html snippet in iWeb and then uploading certain things to your host/server and then connecting them.  It can get quite fiddly if you don't really know what you are doing and it only takes you to upload the wrong thing and get some code wrong and your menu will not show up.
    Why not ditch iWeb in favour of newer software - try EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com and in EverWeb you can create drop down menus from within the app and it is very easy to do.
    I would change now as iWeb has not been supported by Apple or sold for the last 2 years, so now might be a good time to look elsewhere and ditch iWeb for good.
    I already have and purchased EverWeb and re-built one of my sites using this app and have moved my other site to Drupal so that I can do more with it and make it a members site - this can be done more easily if you use a Content Management System like Drupal.

    In this example, it's 2 language:

    Of course you have to make the three version, but maybe it will be more accurate ...

  • I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

  • How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    How do I make attachments I receive in mail appear at the top of my messages?  Sometimes they are imbedded all the way at the bottom of an on going discussion and I don't even realize that there is an attachment.

    If someone sends you an attachment, it's going to show up where they attached it in their message to you.
    Messages with attachments show a paper clip icon in two places, in the middle column of the Mail window, next to the senders name, and next to the sender's name at the top of the message itself.
    One way to make messages with attachments show more clearly is to create a Mail Rule, like this:
    By setting a colored background to the messages that contain attachments, they'll stand out pretty clearly in the message list.
    Note that there are several different types of attachments in the dropdown menu (where you see Document and PDF above). Keep pressing the plus sign to add different attachment types to your rule so that all will stand out on your list of messages.

  • How can I make my web page fill up the entire browser screen regardless of monitor it is viewed on,

    I have noticed that some websites are designed so that the page expands to fill in the entire screen, regardless of the size of the monitor. Here is an example: https://www.draft2digital.com/support/
    I have viewed the Muse tutorial that expands the Footer area to fill in the whole screen, but it does not address how to do this for the main part of the web page, or the header. I have looked at the site setup section and do not see where I could set it to expand.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Okay, in your link the blue bars would be in muse as a blue box then drag the right side so that it stamps just outside your page area. This will make muse program it so you will always see it extend to fill the browser window. Do the same on left side and you should be good. It will work even better if you also centre the rest of your content under page, page properties, padding - check the box for centre horizontally. Any content you want to extend with the browser, while the rest stays centred, you have to drag extending the content so it snaps just outside the main page in muse.
    Hope this helps.

    Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.

  • How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other?

    How do I make one account's home folder visible to the other? Also, when I begin to delete an account, it asks if I want to either delete its home folder, keep it in the users folder, or save it in a disk image. I want to be able to see it from my remaining account once I delete it, so if I leave it in the users folder, would I be able to see all the files (right now I can't

    Use terminal to add ACL to the account,
    at the prompt:
    sudo chmod -R +a "<user> allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit" /User/<user_name> #yep, all that goes on one line!#
    #Replace <user> with the user name that you want to have file/folder privileges#
    #Replace <user_name> with the account you want to process#
    example:
    sudo chmod -R +a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    /User/joe
    #sue now gets full access to joe's files and folders#
    to remove:
    sudo chmod -R -a "sue allow list,add_file, .... deletechild,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    /User/joe
    You can add as many users as you want! Just lather, rinse repeat. That is how I share my itunes
    directory with the ones I want to share it with.
    That's the simplest way. ACL permissions overrule posix permissions.

  • How do I make a JTable's header sorting actually change the actual table?

    How do I make a JTable's header sorting actually change the actual table?
    Currently, I'm using
    table.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);to allow the user to sort the table.
    However, I want to be able to load something based on the selected row's index. The problem is that when the table is rearranged, the change appears to only be local, in other words, the actual table isn't changing.
    For instance:
    index 0 "A"
    index 1 "B"
    index 2 "C"
    Sorted in reverse gives me
    "C"
    "B"
    "A"
    But C is still index 2 (instead of 0).
    Thanks in advance.

    Help me out please

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

  • How to make a webpage fill in the entire browser?

    Hello everyone im tring to make my website fill in the entire page and havent had much luck. If you click here http://elitelandscapingct.com/Home.html you can see what I mean. Is the only way to make it fill in the page to make the page width wider??? If thats the case do you guys have a recommened width number I should be around?

    iWeb pages are centered and have a fixed width, which you can change in the inspector.
    You have to take a lot of variables into account to decide what is the best width.
    Who will visit your pages and with what. From a 30" Desktop monitor to the iPhone/iPod touch and other brands of mobile phones, etc.
    Apple recommends a width of 980 pixels. Obviously with their products in mind.
    [Safari Reference Library |http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/navigation/index.html#section=Resour ceTypes&topic=CodingHow-Tos]
    I design my pages to fit a monitor of 1024 pixels wide. Then it also fits nicely when printed on A4 paper. An iWeb page of 980 pixles wide will fit all browsers on all PCs.
    Lately I've been designing webpages with only the iPad in mind :
    http://dailynews.webege.com/ipad/
    Keeps you busy to calculate the exact number of pixels.
