I have 2 columns, alpha is longer than beta, both have a background color different to the container background color... is there anyway of editing the CSS to make beta the same size as alpha? I've tried adding height: 100%; to #beta with no luck.

Thanks, as usual, in advance.

Using CSS equal column lengths has long been a problem as content of a column determines length.
There is a way without using javascript which I found had strange results (column renders after page loads...)
Using a background image is easiest and best:
