Hi Linda, Thanks for your suggestion. One thing very relevant that I have not mentioned is that the content and sidebar need to appear below a header of unknown height. I think this means absolute positioning is not going to work. Sorry for not mentioning that.
Сергей Кириченко Thanks for the links. I laughed really hard when I translated your insult as well. It loses something in the translation, however :) After a bit of fiddling I got the solution at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlayouts/ to work consistently across a few browsers. It is an interesting approach which can provide equal height backgrounds for the content and sidebar without faking it with a background image. Not sure I would have found it with a search of any keywords I would have used, however. Thanks again.
