Grey box won't go 100% height

[hansmojo]

Hi guys!!

Just wondering if you could help me again...

http://www.unitedearth.com.au/myst/

I would like the grey box on the left and the content area to go 100% in height and I've tried a few dozen ways but there must be something I'm missing.

I got the nav box to do it thanks to this forum but am at a loss on this one.

If someone could help that would be appreciated.

here is a clue:
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-image: url(images/body_bg.jpg);
background-color: #019ccb;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height: 75%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;

/* WHITE BOX THAT CONTAINS ALL THE ELEMENTS */

}

hehe... I'm sorry jl, that still too cryptic for me, although I did have a go. :)

I have changed and removed that body height both with not so good results. I put it there in the first place to get the nav box to go all the way down and it does! I was a bit proud of that moment until this one came along.

If you look now it really looks crap, in both ie and ff.

Any more help/clues would be appreciated, thanks for taking the time.

It wasn't going down because it was stopping at 75%


height: 100%;
Works for me
