[thelist] CSS Layout question

[Maximillian Schwanekamp]

Hello List,

I beg your help.  I'm working on a blog site using a simple two column
layout, left column for nav links, right column for content.  I would like
to make the content column always be at least as tall as the nav column.
Presently, that is not the case.  I am still new to CSS, so I bet this is a
stupid question...  Any help would be most appreciated!!

Stylesheet URL:
http://www.politicalmusings.net/wp-layout.css  - kinda messy yet, haven't
cleaned up the rules

Most relevant rules code:

/*
div#menu is left column, div#content is right column, both wrapped in
div#container
*/

div#container {
	border: none;
	margin: 0;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	padding: 0;
	background-color: #323896;
	width: 791px;
	voice-family: "\"}\"";
	voice-family:inherit;
	width: 771px;
}
body>div#container {
	width: 771px;
}
div#banner {
	padding: 0;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	background-color: #323896;
	position: relative;
	color: white;
	font-size: 0.9em;
