On: When to use tables for layout

[kaens]

"Using a CSS layout with floating boxes, the sidebar-box does not stretch to the bottom."

"The solution proposed by CSS gurus seems to be to create a background image with a colored area overlapping with the sidebar-area"

What about height: 100% with a dom layout something like:

  div#wrapper

    div#header

    div#main

      div#sidebar

      div#main content

    div#footer
