The easiest way that works well cross-browser wise is to use a 
background image, either on the body or the container.

easy

put a globalWrap around your sideNav  mainContent divs

create a 1px high background image of your sideNav blue but make sure
its the width of your sidenav then in the css put

#globalWrap{background: url(images/bg_sideNav.gif) repeat-y left}

problem solved

Best solution I have found to the problem is:
