I'm in despair trying to draw this simple thing. Two columns stretching 100% vertically. Is this ever possible?
here there are two tries
<html>
<head>
<title>Columns</title>
</head>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
.wrapper {font-size:900px;
width:1200px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.col1 {
width:600px;
height:100%;
float:left;
background:#f00;
}
.col2 {
width:600px;
height:100%;
float:left;
background:#00f;
}
</style>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="col1"> C o l u m n 1 </div>
<div class="col2"> C ol u m n 2 </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
