I'm confused... What are you trying to do?
You have height=100% set on your table. And your table has a height
of 100%. (or so it seems. Scroll down a little bit, and notice how
the background stops before the end of the table)
But the you have also set your page height to 100%. Everything
overflows, because you have margins, and padding, and borders, and
an iframe, and also a table that's 100%. And because it overflows,
there's a scroll. Notice how the center column is at the bottom of
the screen. That's because the page has a 100% height. The scroll
is because the left column is longer than that.
If you want your 100% page to not scroll, and have everything below
the bottom of the screen hidden and inaccessible (I don't know why
you'd want that), you can add overflow: hidden to your body styles.

I tried setting everything I possibly could to 100% height in an
attempt to find something that would work. All I wanted to do was keep
the background from stopping before the bottom of the page, no matter
what the height of the content.
It turns out that the problem was caused by the "What's New" box,
which was absolutely positioned. Absolutely positioned elements do not
'take up space' on a page, so they don't push down other elements. I
switched the absolute positioning to margin-top and it seems to have
fixed the problem.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it. I really
appreciate it!
