Hi Tammy,
If the column is a floated left column, you have to put a {clear: left;
} in the footer. Then you can use the background-color (or bg-image) of
the container in which the column and the content are included. Another
way is to make a curtain of a "faux column", which you can let down over
the whole page.
For some examples and variations: see the css-wiki, this page
<http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AnyColumnLongest>.
Enough possibilities! ;-)
Greetings,
francky
