setting a minimum column height with CSS?

I'm working on a website with two column layout. The left column contains a
list of site navigation links, the right column contains actual content for any
given page. I'm using CSS to set a left-hand rule that runs the height of the
right-hand column. On some pages, there's a lot of content; on others, very
little. When there's little content, my rule doesn't run as long as the links
list, because the rule is applied to the right column.

So, I want this rule to run at least as long as that left column, but run as
long as the content in the right column when needed. Here are links to a couple
of pages, so you can see what's going on:

hello,

apply this to your right column div and change 430px to whatever you want

min-height: 430px;
height:auto;
_height: 430px;
