column heights and footer positions

[catfish]

I have a problem understanding how to get my columns to match height without using <p>&nbsp;</p> dozens of times ( I'm sure this isn't the correct method) I want to use a background color in the left column so it is very obvious that the heights don't mesh. I'm also having problems with the footer being below the left nav.

This is a site I have taken over and converted it from tables to CSS . The link:

please check all the links as they all seem to look different depending on the length of the page.

thanks alot:o

You CANNOT force unrelated "columns" to be the same height. To make it look like the columns are the same, there are the faux column method (http://alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns), or negative margins methods (http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_explained.htm).
