"class" container is placed within "id" bottomMenu and I want the height for the bottomMenu to inherit the height of the container. I cannot figure out why, any help is useful. Thanks!
#bottomMenu{
width:900px;
height:1200px;
background:black;
border-top: 2px solid white;
border-bottom: 2px solid white;}
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top:2px;
width:890px;
position: relative;
color:white;}
.left{position:absolute; left:0; width:440px;}
.right{position: absolute; right:0px; width:440px;}
.tableLeft{table-layout:fixed; width:440px;}
.tableLeft, td, th{border:1px solid #0099cc;}
th{background-color:#0099cc; color:white;}
.tableLeft td {font-size:14px; white-space:normal; border:none;}
.tableRight{table-layout:fixed; width:440px;}
.tableRight, td, th{border:1px solid #0099cc;}
th{background-color:#0099cc; color:white;}
.tableRight td {font-size:14px; border:none;}
