DIVs not stretching proplery?

Question

So, I am working on a fansite, and I can't figure out why my "content" class div will not stretch. It's supposed to be 100% min-height, but it's not doing that. Also, I can't get it to stretch to the "column2" div, which is seated inside of it. Sorry if this is a simple fix, I'm very new to this. I wouldn't know where to start as far as posting coding for you guys to reference, so if you want, just go to here and view the page source.

Actually, it does stretch to the bottom --- the bottom of the html element. The problem is that your right column is position: absolute. Whenever you set an element to absolute positioning, it is detached from the normal flow, and so its container will not strech to contain it (which is a desired effect in drop-down menus and such).

Instead, you should use the float: right property on the right column and then add an empty div at the bottom which is clear: both, to ensure that the div stretches correctly.
