How can i make a div tag eg.'left-menu' the same size as the container eg.'content'. I am unable to fix height of the 'left-menu' tag as the 'content' tag needs to change as content is added on seperate pages.

I've tried auto, but that only seems to make it as big as the list of links, were i would like the height to equal that of the containing div tag.

I've also tried inherit but it seems to inherit 'auto' as its value rather than the actual height of the container.

I dont have the code with me at the moment as im at work, but if needed i will post it when i finish.

thanks
