    http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ I seen this site on Css Faux columns… but that is for replacing the entire background with this… I have a background I want to use already.. just need the sidebar and main content columns to be the same length. Any other ideas? thanks!!

    so I found an article on css faux columns located here http://line25.com/articles/create-sidebars-of-equal-height-with-faux-columns which I followed and is great!!!! but my only thing is.. after following it.. the right column extends in content as transparent and not repeating the image down like it shows in the tutorial. Any ideas? here is the jacked up page so you can see what I mean. http://nwmblog.com/additional-resources/ see how the background image I have for the content area does not repeat down

    ok figured out it wasn’t actually showing at all because I had background put in twice.. but now that I corrected that.. its not filling in the sidebar at all…GRRRRRRR

    If I read it correctly and you want the side bar area extended down to the bottom of the page even with the body content bottom then try to change this around in your style.css …

    .contentWrapper {
    min-height: 350px;
    padding: 20px;
    }

    Try something like these:

    .contentWrapper {
    height: 100%;
    padding: 20px;
    }

    OR

    .contentWrapper {
    min-height: 100%;
    padding: 20px;
    }

    Might work…

    Good luck and if it was something else then sorry for the post.
