Universal CSS

Okay, i'm brand new to dreamweaver, and I used a css file already provided in
dreamweaver, the halo left nav because i loved the way it looked. I made a
homepage, and made a few copies of it, changing the content in each copy to fit
whatever page I was creating. My question is, if i change the height on one
page, it edits the css file to change the height on every page. Is there a way
of having the css automatically select the height of the page based on how much
content is on there, or is there any other way around it? I tried copying the
css file and renaming it for each page, but I lose all of the formatting i did
with the original one. I could really use some help, so anything would be
appreciated as i seem to have hit a wall. Thanks a lot.

How are you changing the copy/height?

Adding content and removing content, from either the left side or the
right side, will result in the page either getting longer or shorter.
The css doesnt change unless you manually change it?

Should be as simple as what I have said above, add or delete content.
The page will adjust its height according to the content. The css wont
change just because you add or take away content.

Any more details of what it is you are doing?

that is the sight I am working on. If you notice that page, the height is
perfect for the page, but if you click the "our mission" button on the top
left, and you go to that page, you will notice that the height is waaay off.
If i change the height of it to fit the page, it adjusts the height settings in
the css file and then becomes too short for the home page.. thanks for taking
interest.

The key is not to touch that outer layer (#pagecell1). You have at some

stage pulled down on it, which WILL change the css stylesheet.

If you just add content or delete content it will automatically adjust
its height according to the content.

To delete the height just open the properties inspector, make sure the
the height box is blank, not zero (0), just blank

Don't use spaces in page or directory names. Some browsers react poorly
to them.
