In this case it seems to work - the columns actually end when the content does (although in this case all of the columns are close to the same length) - you just can't notice it since there are no changes in background colors or borders. If you're happy with all the columns having the same backgro

Actually, height is always computed in relation to the parent element.  If you use html, body{height: 100%}, then containing elements are always computed in relation to that. Using html, instead of just body helps Opera. If you are looking for a 2 column layout, I can help you out if you want to
