# Make column height match row height

 * I’d like to make the column height of some of my columns match the height of 
   the row they’re located in.
 * I’ve been able to do this so far by padding out the specific columns that I would
   like to take up the height of the row, but if the row height changes for any 
   reason the padding either isn’t enough and ends up falling short of the full 
   row height, or it’s too much and ends up increasing the row height where I’d 
   rather it didn’t.
 * I think there might be a more elegant solution to this; somehow setting the column
   height to the row height, so that it works no matter what, but I’m at the bottom
   of the steep css learning curve and I’m hoping for a bit of help on this one.
 * My site is runparis.fr and the columns that I’d like to take up the full row 
   height are the ones that are an “opaque black” to make the white text more legible.
 * I hope someone can help like the many solutions to other problems I’ve solved
   on this excellent forum.
 * Cheers, Luke
