Trouble with column heights

I'm in a rut. I can't figure out what the deal is with my column heights. I have my left column with a setting of min-height: 375px and my content column with a setting of min-height: 365px. If I do anything else, the left column appears either too long or too short.

What am I going to do when I make the rest of my pages, of varying lengths? How can I make it so that both columns stretch to properly fit my content?

BTW, critique is welcomed.

Make a wrapper div around them both and set it to have a min-height then set them both to be the proportional percents you want them to be. The wrapper DIV will then stretch and the two columns will stretch to be the right size within it.

Works in Firefox and IE7, but not IE6. IE6 still has an issue with my column lengths.

Exactly, IE 6 DOES NOT recognize min/max width and height.

The easier method that works across all browsers, including the red-headed stepchild IE6, is the faux columns method: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/

It will save you LOTS of aggravation and works easily.
