A div will only expand to encompass the content within it - so you can't get it to actually be as long as the main div unless you specify a height which isn't really possible as you don't know which div will be the longer on all pages.

So the best way around it is to employ the Faux Column technique which fakes the look your after.

In this case - all you need to do is to replace your current background image (bg.jpg) with the one I've attached to this post.

Neat eh?
