How can I get a left-navigation column to fill the entire left side of the middle of a webpage using CSS? -

i'm working on making web page:

http://jsfiddle.net/pw8yj/

and want left navigation area extend way downwards left side, bottom of header top of footer. tried setting height: 100% didn't seem work. there i'm doing wrong here?

this never work way you're expecting to. cannot set 100% height element go 100% of content, not height of parent container.

what recommend doing removing background leftnav area, , instead, set repeating background on div id="middlearea" gray part repeat-y. way, no matter how big #middlearea gets, background expand regardless.

you can seek resources faux columns may give templates , other results you're looking for:
