kk see the dark brown box on the left side of the page? it goes down till it touches the bottom the the screen. I want to make it so it does not touch the bottom of the screen. how do I do that? I know the site looks bad but it is a protype for the real one. I erased some stuff becuse it said my real name and I do not want people to know what the site is yet.

It looks like you are setting background color to your html page. If you create a div in your body and assign the brown background color to the div, you should be able to adjust the height of the div. You can do this with some CSS.

is there a way to do it without converting it to css?

Yes, you can use table and set the background color of your table. This way, you are using plain HTML.

My suggestion is to use some CSS. It's easy to learn and easy to use inside HTML.

If you insist on plain HTML, you can watch this HTML Table video. Then you can learn more about Nested Tables.
