for my left side I have a table in there with heigth set to 100% and a colored left edge.
However when ever my main page area content is longer than the navigation menu is the left side does not completly extend to the bottom of the page . i.e. the left side height is only as long as the nav menu is.
How can I fix this?

Please post a url where we can see this problem. Also, just to clarify, are you referring to a table in a template or in an article?

The height attribute in percentage was deleted in HTML v4.0! So as long as you use the DTD for HTML4.0 or XHTML this won't work.
A workaround would be to use HTML3.1 in your DTD!
Hope that helps,

This is a shortcoming of CSS in general. There's no reliable way to make a block element always fill 100% of the document in all browsers. An incredibly simple workaround is to just make a background image of a line and put it on the body.
