I am desperate to draw this simple thing. Two columns are stretched 100% vertically. Is it possible?
there are two attempts
<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 olumn 1 </div> <div class="col2"> C ol umn 2 </div> </div> </body> </html>
and

The third does not work when the content is too large to fit the browser window. Try to make the window small and scroll down
