CSS and element size

Okay - I'm sneaking over from the Visual Basic forum for a bit of help with some CSS... I'm just beginning to get into web design, so any help that anyone can give will be gratefully received...

Essentially, I am working with a webpage with three columns, which I have implemented through the use of <div> tags and absolute positioning. The actual positioning of the columns is all working wonderfully.

The problem is that the middle column can contain a lot of data, stretching well beyond the actual window, so that verticle scrolling is required. When this happens, I am finding it difficult to set the sizes of the other two columns such that they both terminate (in terms of the div, not the text) at the same point as the middle one.

Any ideas?

I've tried using bottom: 0;, but that only works with the bottom of the window. What I'm really after is something that will work to the bottom of the page itself.

Many thanks,

Martin.
