Min-height is a good way to do it yes. Are you sure that the Wordpress stylesheet doesn't have !important; displayed? If so, it will overwrite any of your specified atrribute(s).

Hi.tnx for answer,so you trying to say that if i add somewhere in my style.css
*{margin-top: 0!important; margin-bottom: 0 !important}
then min-height:100%; does not work at all? Did i understand you correctly?
thank you

Google for equal height columns and implement it into your CSS.

It's nothing related to WP or any other CMS/static site, it's pure CSS.

Code:
*{margin-top: 0!important; margin-bottom: 0 !important}
is definately wrong. I would say you should learn some basics about CSS at w3schools.com

Especially what !important does and when to use it, when not and ofcourse the "star" selector

The easiest way to accomplish this, still, is to use the Faux Columns method.

Then you're going to have to either alter the image you have to be what you want; make a new image; or find another one.
