When working with a combination of divs, and tables, I have ended up beating my head against getting a div to go all the way to the end of where the page scrolls to. This is useful to make the familiar navigator bar on the left side go all the way to the end of the page.

The way to do it is to make sure that the html and body tags actually go to the bottom. The thought being that something will only go to the end if it’s container goes to the end. (In some bizarre land I am sure this makes sense).

To do this, simply put this into the stylesheet:
html,body {
height: 100%;
}
