I'm pursuing the holy grail of creating a two-column CSS layout with
footer AND where the colors of the columns actually go all the way
down.
The code is below.
Here is a graphic of how it looks in each IE and FIREFOX:

Does anyone have any idea what I might try to get both IE and FIREFOX
to render this layout similarly? I've noticed that Explorer has
problems with padding many times, but don't know how to fix this one.
Thanks,
Edward Tanguay
