Hey everyone..
I know this has been covered before, I just can't find the post. I've also searched the internet and nothing works. (height 100% etc)

When making my containers in CSS I always "fake" the boxes by using a background image repeat-y. I'm sick of doing this. Is there a way that actually works to force the borders of a content box to stretch to be as tall as the other box?

Here is my page: http://www.pilotdesigns.com/fixitfinders/index2.php
I think the content box will always be larger than the menu, but I don't want to have to worry if it isnt.

Thanks.

Pilot, I started a thread about this a few days ago, here. (http://www.webdevforums.com/showthread.php?t=19153)

Adding a clearing div might be your solution. I'm still battling with it because I have nested divs with auto height and it didn't work. I finally gave up and made my wrapper div with a colored background 2000px high. I have perpetual scrollbars on the viewport, but I can handle that.
