Seems to be the best solution so far.
Ehhh, what's the intention of the test page? I don't see high columns
anywhere (must be my age :-(
I'm sorry, the test page is just that, a test page. Here, I have built
another one:

The idea is that you change the width of your canvas. With a wide canvas the
navbar column is longer. With a narrow canvas the content column is longer.
It *looks* like both columns are the same height but, in fact they are not,
as evidenced by
http://users.bigpond.net.au/rf/test/notable1b.html
where large borders have been turned on for the two offending divs.
Of course you have to be using IE out of quirks mode. Mozilla gets it
different/wrong/right/I dunno. IIRC I gave up on this exercise just after I
discovered this and came to the conclusion that until all the browsers
support CSS tables then just do it in an HTML table and be damned to the
purists <g/> who insist that a table can not be used for layout when it is,
in fact, the only viable alternative in this situation.

I once tried to repair my car <grin/>. That rubber thing in the front end
suspension was perished. Well I could not get the suspension apart. Spanners
didn't work, my Dad's puller thingo didn't work, a hammer didn't work. Took
the offending car to the Expert Car Repairer. He produced a ten pound
brickies sledgehammer and with one bloody big wack instantly dismantled the
front end. Didn't break anything, just knew where to hit, how hard to hit,
and *which tool to use*
