CSS columns not staying
I got a 3 column layout from this site that I'm trying to utilize with what I have already done, so far so good till I got to this part. The problem I'm having is that I can't expand the content column without forcing the leftcolumn to move down, won't stay put. So consequently if I start filling the contentcolumn up when I test it the nav menu is all the way at the bottom of the scree, argh. I've searched but can't seem to find anything to help me out, I'm sure it's something simple. Sorry for the length I deleted out most of the content to keep it short. TIA for the help.
