    Please see http://tomesker.com/blackburn/wordpress/keynote. I would like the left and right sidebars to have the tan #CCCC99 background color extend fully down the page to match whatever height the article in the middle section happens to be. I’ve tried adding:

    background-color: #CCCC99;

    to art-contentLayout and also to art-sidebar2 in style.css and fiddled with the CSS a number of other places with no effect.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks

    You and just about every other web designer on the planet. There’s no way to do this easily via CSS other than using a faux background image that contains the two coloured blocks at the correct width. Or setting the wrapper background to the color that you want and placing the content on top if that.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I Googled “faux background css” and came up with the linked article below, followed the instructions and that did the trick: http://www.ehow.com/how_4488586_install-faux-columns.html
