CSS Div tag Question

[LittleNFiesty]

I'm redesigned our website to a div tag layout.

I need to make my right container to be at least the same height as the left container, but it needs to be able to adjust if the content in the right container is longer than the left container.

But the right container needs to be at least the same height as the left container even if the content is less than the same height as the left container.

How do I set the height in the right container to do this?

Short answer: You can't.

Long answer:
Containers extend according to their content if set to auto. Or can have a specific height set in pixels or a percent of their parent. They cannot calculate their height based on another DIV.

You can fake it using Faux columns. This gives the illusion that the columns have the same height. But they really don't.
