DIV heights

[erick295]

I'm using CSS to lay out a page. I have two div's, one floating left, the other floating right. The content in the left div is short, and the content in the right div is long. How can I force the shorter div to be the same height as the longer one?

Add a background color and set the height to 100%?

I thought that would work, but it doesn't change it. It's inside a container div.
