    I am trying to program a seemingly simple fixed-width container that includes columns of information that expand to the bottom and includes a header and a footer. I want the header and footer to remain a defined width and the footer always remains below the content.

    I've located some footer tutorials online but they don't quite seem to show me how to do this. Any suggestions? Any tutorials I can use?

    Seems pretty simple. Put everything in a container div that has your fixed width applied to it and then be sure to add "clear:both;" to your footer div and use an order similar to:

    <div id="container">
    <div id="header"></div>
    <div id="content">
    <div id="columnone"></div>
    <div id="columntwo"></div>
    </div>
    <div id="footer"></div>
    </div>

    Well, is there a way to have a column with less content fill the height with its background color? that's an issue i'm having a problem with in conjunction with the footer.

    what i mean is one column has less information than another and doesn't reach all the way to the footer.
