Re: TECH: Website Navigation Question

BPJ:
<<
If you have a main text area and a sidebar area on your page
their width should also be defined in values relative to the
browser window, like

:   div.sidebar { float: right; width: 25%; }
:   div.main-body { width: 75%; }
 >>

Would you, perhaps, know how to solve my problem, then?
The way my site is designed, I have a navbar, and then the rest
of the page:

http://dedalvs.free.fr/

The navbar is 140px wide.  Why?  Because it's an image (repeated
indefinitely until the end of the page).  I had to make it an image,
because no matter what I've tried, I can't get a division to the left
(colored in using a bgcolor specification) to extend all the way to
the end of the page when the main body text exceeds the length
of the navbar text, as is the case with many of my pages, e.g. this
one:

http://dedalvs.free.fr/kamakawi/rclauses.html

With every strategy I've tried, the bar ends at the end of the
navbar text.  If I could have it extend to the end of the page, I
could get rid of the images, and define the length in ems.  Indeed,
I would be happy to do so: even though the image is tiny, the
fewer images the better.  Do you know a way around this problem?
