How can I get my SSI to span the entire height of my page? An example is: http://www.astral-kitten.net/ITS/constitution.shtml
The page is massive, and the SSI only goes part of the way down the page...any ideas?
1. SSI is just an include feature. it does not control the formatting of websites.
2. you have doubled your stylesheet tag in error.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bottom.css" type="text/css" />
delete the one that appears after your starting BODY tag.
3. you seem to have an extra set of ending BODY and HTML tags after the first table.
4. on your external css page, delete all of the HTML, HEAD, TITLE, STYLE and COMMENT tags. external pages should have only the actual css stuff on it.
the above may or may not help your current problem, but it will help your coding structure.

Thank you. I cleaned up my script and actually switched from SSI to PHP, but if you go to that page (with a php extension now) it still doesn't go all the way down the face of the page. Is there some way I can get the inclusion to span the entire length of it? Is there a code I can put into my .inc file to make it larger or is there an actual mod I can add to the php inclusion script? The new link is here: http://www.astral-kitten.net/ITS/constitution.php
change this...
</head>
<body topmargin=0 bgcolor=#0A131C leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 bottommargin=0 topmargin=0>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bottom.css" type="text/css" />
<html>
<head>
<title>Menu</title>
</head>
<body style="BORDER-RIGHT: #29343E 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #FFFFFF 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #FFFFFF 0px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #FFFFFF 0px solid" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" topmargin=0 bgcolor=#0A131C leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 bottommargin=0 bgcolor=#010407>
into to this...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bottom.css" type="text/css" />
<body style="background-color:#010407;margin:0px; BORDER-RIGHT: #29343E 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #FFFFFF 0px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #FFFFFF 0px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #FFFFFF 0px solid;">
then delete this part after your menu table...
</body>
</html>
your main problem however seems to be in your layout. you have the first table aligned to the left and the main table thus goes over to the right and continues on after the first table is done.
instead of the ALIGN in your table, try using another table to control things...
<table width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td>
menu table goes here.
</td><td>
main content table goes here.
</td></tr></table>
