Getting I.E 6 to show 100% height divs correctly

Can anyone help me get I.E 6 to show an absolute positioned div with
height as 100% to actually be 100% height of its containing div (which
also has height set to 100%)?

I.E 7 and Firefox both render the page as intended but I.E.6 causes
issues.

Is this a common problem ?
For reference I have an outer div which is relatively position, height
set to 100%, then a body div which contains my main content, then a
leftarea div used for navigation. The leftarea is absolute positioned
and height set to 100%.
Any thoughts advice greatly appreciated..
