I'm farely fluent in html but I need help with a couple things. I recently designed this (freewebs.com/davepersonalp/border3.gif) website for my school, and i'm trying a new way of slicing it.

I usually just slice a giant GIF with imageready and use iframes in the content, but i really would like to know how to make the content box longer with every extra line of text, to where it auto resizes depending on how much text is written. For example in this site, each page length is longer depending on the amount of text per page.

I also need help making the browser cut off at the bottom of the page, leaving no bgcolor underneath it, for any resolution. I know it has to do with percents rather than pixels, right?

If anyone can give me a quick explaining of these or point me to a web tutorial (i have no idea what to search in google) it would help me out a lot.

The key here is to have a pattern that can be perfectly repeated. I would suggest about 20px up from the bottom bar. The slice an image that goes for the entire width of the page, but only about 10px high. Call this space.gif.

For the next bit, I assuming you are using tables. In your define the following:
