Hi
I have a beginners css question, and i've tried searching thru this forum for an answer, i'm probably using the wrong words to search by.
if i have a left column that depending on the length of the page of my site want to span all the way from top to bottom, how do i go about doing it.
so that if one page has a long article, and one page is shorter, the left background bar is always there, and doesnt stop short.

I tried


.left_bar {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #0066FF;
width: 220px;
background-image: url(/joomla/templates/nuevo/images/menu_left_lightblue.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;

I tried height:auto;
but it didnt work for me

Can anyone assist me?
Thanks!
