Problem with DIV tag

Hi

I have a problem with the DIV tag.

As you can see on my homepage, there is a huge chunk of white space below the text in the two columns. I have use the standard code provided in the syntax page to make the two columns, and i added a clear div tag.

Any suggestion?
Thx

Some more info

if i use the ~~~~ after the second div tag for the right column then i have a big gap before the rest of the text which should be in one column

if i use the ~~~~< after the second div tag for the right column the rest of the text flows under the right column until it reached the bottom of the left column and then i get a single column.

So i didn't not use any~~~~~ but added a new DIV tag to get the rest of the text flowing in one single column.

I found this a bit strange but it worked

By clear, do you mean :

<div style="clear:both">
</div>

I'm having a similar problem as posted above. I get a huge empty space after I use the ~~~~ to clear the div tag. I can't figue out a way to move the following text back up to where it should be. Any suggestions?

Does the space end exactly at the bottom of the side nav bar? If so, you need to tweak the theme somehow.

I may have found a workable solution. In the div code given as an example in the syntax page, the width equals 90%. If I increase the total width to 100%, then the problem disappears. I can't say yet if it works in all situations, but it's working so far…
