where you have all those <br> tags to stretch the left and right columns down you could use a margin-bottom in css.

Thanks, I just tried that but it still seems to wrap to the text (or <br>'s)

Here is the style defining the Right column:

#right {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
right: 0px;
padding: 4px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border-left: 2px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;
background: #e6e5c9;
width: 14%;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;

}



Thanks,
John

Hmm, that also didn't seem to work.

Right now I'm just defining it as a number of pixels.



Thanks,
John

Here is what I'm using right now, it's the same on the right:


#left {
	position: absolute;
	top: 100px;
	left: 0px;
	padding: 2px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	border-right: 2px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;
	background-color: #e6e5c9;
	width: 14%; 
	height: 2400px;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family:inherit;
	
	}



What did I try?

I tried both:

margin-bottom: 0px;


And:

padding-bottom: 0px;




Thanks,
John

it doesn't really matter whether you assign height: 2400px or padding-bottom: 1000px; (example). - I had in mind assigning a dimension to the padding.

If you just want it to go all the way down then you need to investigate faux columns. (google it)

It's not that difficult. One side would be easy, two would require putting the backgrounds into two wrapper divs, then just positioning the menus over the backgrounds. That way you'd get everything full page height.
