Uneven cols?

I have a two column layout. The column's are uneven in their content. The problem I'm having is how do I get the shorter column to extend to the bottom of the page. Right now the shorter column stops when it's contents stop, and the background shows?

Thanks

it might be a bit unprofessional, but when I do layouts such as these, I use BR tags to fill in the extra space, it works fine
