    Can anyone tell me how I get the color of my sidebar to extend all the way to the bottom on http://www.FreeSnatcher.com? Here is my stylesheet.

    Thanks a lot

    I think you either remove the overflow tag completely, or set it's attribute to "visible".

    Let me know,

    You could put your sidebar inside your content and give it a height of 100% or you could add a fake background on the content, with the blue on the right
