What is the best way to expand a left floated navigation column to fill

the height of the available space? This column has a different colour,

Is the best way still to use background image, or does anyone have a
better way of doing it?
Thanks,

How about negative margins? I think it may do what you want but I have
not tested this particular example:

FWIW, the 'negative margins' layout referenced above

background-images to create faux columns.

Should have realised but it's a while since I looked at the ALA method. I
tend to use negative margins without background images myself but the method
I use "breaks" on some pages when text sizes are made v small by the user.
That's not a major problem for me but you may need something better.
