There is a way to make a wrapper extend to the height of the body element. I
believe the trick is to set both the html and body elements to have a height
of 100%, and give your wrapper a height of 100% as well (although I've often
used min-height, which I find makes 'good' browsers play nicer and gets
treated as height by IE).

So you end up with something along the lines of:

html, body { min-height: 100% }
#wrapper { min-height: 100% }

Then it should just be a matter of what you put into the wrapper and what
you exclude.

Hope it helps,

Seona.
