Full height sidebar, and float left content

[taylorishereParticipant Post count: 4]

So, what I want to do is create a child theme like http://dcurt.is/

The issue is I want a full height sidebar on the left with a background image (currently, the background ends at the bottom of the sidebar, even when trying to set the height to 100%), and the content to float:left (when I float the content left, it replaces the sidebar, so it’s arranged as content/sidebar, when I want it to be sidebar/content).

So, can I get help with:

Full height sidebar
Sidebar on the left, and then content to the right of that (while not floating it all the way to the right).

Thanks!

This is kind of tricky. The simple solution is to create a background for the entire #inner div that is shaded in where the sidebar will be. You can see how this works with the Amped theme very well.
