I'm transitioning a site from HTML to XHTML 1.0 Transitional w/ CSS and have hit a snag.
I've found that with tables, my left column menu runs the length of the screen. If the right column content is longer than the menu, I get blank space on the left with my menu's background color.
Using CSS, my left column menu stops after the last link. If my right side content is longer, the remainder appears beneath the menu.
Is there any way to have my left column menu take up 100% of the screen area? I've tried 'height: 100%;' in my style sheet, but it doesn't seem to do anything, with or without a <div> containing element.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'll check back tomorrow morning.
