I'm trying to create a site with an elastic main column and a static 
left sidebar, but for content organization, I want the sidebar to be 
after the main column in the code, ruling out some of the simplest 
implementations.  I implemented the solution found here:

http://css.researchkitchen.de/classpage/explaining-css-positioning.html

However, as he says at the bottom of the page, if the 
absolutely-positioned sidebar is longer than the main content (which 
will depend on a user's window size along with the amount of stuff in 
the main column).  Does anyone know of a way around this problem?  I'm 
using a "min-height" kludge solution on the main column, but the sidebar 
will be populated dynamically, so its length will be variable.  Plus, 
IE6 ignores min-height (not the only IE6 problem I have to troubleshoot. 
  My sidebar is screwed up in other ways on IE6).

I suspect that this will only occasionally be an actual problem, but for 
those occasions, it'd be nice to have a solution that.

Since the problem is fully explained in the link above, linking to my 
implementation probably isn't necessary, but it's at 
http://www.kungfu-silat.com/wp/ , which I've asked a few questions about 
before here.
