Could someone help please?

[BabaFree]

Hey everyone. I'm having a problem getting my html and css to work together and could really use some help. Here's the link:

My Webpagehttp://72.29.82.174/~newlife/

Here's the problem. I need the image on the right to expand the "divbody" as I expand the image. In other words I need the image to expand the double border and push the copyright down. I've worked on this for days and nothing I do seems to work. Please let me know if I've not explained this good enough.

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.

Here's my CSS:

body {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
color: #662100;
}


.a:link {
color:#C57104
}
a:link {
color: #662100;
}

a:visited {
color: #662100;
}

a:hover {
color:#FFFF00;
}



.smalllinks {
font-size:9px;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, td, tr {
color: #662100
}

#divbody {
width:770px;
height:auto;
background-color:#E4DCC9;
position:relative;
margin:0 auto;
z-index:5;
}
#topbar {
width:770px;
height:15px;
text-align:right;
font-size:x-small;
font:bold;
color:#662100;
padding-top:3px;
padding-bottom:3px;
}
#masthead {
position:relative
width:770px;
height:150px;
background-image:url(../images/masthead.png);
text-align:center;
}
#navbar {
width:770px;
height:25px;
background-color:#E4DCC9;
text-align:center;
font-size:medium;
color:#662100;
border-bottom-style:solid;
border-bottom-width:2px;
border-bottom-color:#662100;
text-align:left
}


#mainpage {
width:770px;
height:auto;
margin:0 auto;

}

.floatright {
float:right
}


#copyright {
position:absolute;
text-align:center;
font-size:smaller;
left: 183px;
top: 694px;
}


#rightbar {
width:154px;
height:auto;
background-color:#E4DCC9;
float:right;
position:inherit;
top:0px;
}



.bottomborderorange {
border: thick double #DB8719;
}

.bodymargin {
margin:10px;
}

I have done some scripting in this but I don't have the programs to help me out. I like to use programs for layouts, makes it easier. I would be glad to work on this site with you if you need the help.

I truly appreciate the offer, but for the most part I'm using it to learn. Trying not to ask for help unless I get too far in over my head I'm using Dreamweaver 8 for the designing, but I just seem to be getting stuck with this problem. Nothing at all that I do seems to work. I know that it all boils down to my lack of knowledge, but I'm getting frustrated to the point of pulling my hair out (what little I still have. I would appreciate any advice that you could give on this problem. Thanks again

I like using Front Page for layouts because it's old school. Dreamweaver is complex so some options you want it to do it will do something else. I can't really help you too much with css because I'm not good with layouts in scripting but if I had the full page in a zip file it would be easier for me to show the css code. If I was on front page I would go to table options and change the table pixels from 770px; to like 800. For the (c) I would just click the text and press enter. If DW won't let you do this just go to the file and go to notepad and find where it says © 2006 - New Life Apostolic Church and put in the following code.

Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly - you want the image on the right to expand vertically so that the double borders will expand, and the "Copyright" near the bottom will be pushed back? I did a quick test on it, but at least in MSIE 6, just by simply changing the height parameters of "sidebarhome.png" will push the "Copyright" notice down as needed. "height=2000" would push the copyright notice down as needed.

Front Page has actually never been to school. If it did it would write code that was compliant and worked well cross-browser.

I can code but I'm saying you could redo it in html. I own Dreamweaver and Front Page and I perfer FrontPage for layouts. I know that DW can code php and other scripts in it.

oh my lol

Well, that's what I was trying to do. I tested it at work with IE 6 and it looked perfect. At home where I'm designing, I have IE7 Beta and Firefox. Well, now at least I know it would work on most computers for the next few months at least. Anybody know a way to get it to work in these? Thanks again.

P.S. I don't like Frontpage either. Tried to make a website and got all the way through it testing it in IE. Tried to open it in firefox and it looked like Picasso had made it
