I have a centered div "mainBlock" that contains a div "leftNav" that
is floated left.  I need leftNav to be the same size as mainBlock . 
If I give leftNav a height of 100%, it kind of works in Firefox,
although it appears to push bottom of leftNav into the footer div. In
IE however, the height is not effected at all with a percentage value.

I read on some other posts that the html and body containing blocks
need their heights to be set in order to give the div some percentage
to go off of. But setting them to 100% still has no effect.  On a
similar note, I read in an Eric Meyer book that the containing block
always has to have it's height set, otherwise the nested block will
default to auto.  Setting mainBlock to 100% still has no effect on IE,
but in FF it pushs the footer div past the bottom of the viewport
causing a scroll.

Any ideas on how to implement this? 


his?
