You are referring to the first box (.container), I presume. That box is only as tall as all the static, in-flow content. The left column is a floated box, and as such, is removed from the flow, and does not influence the height of the parent box in modern browsers - that is: except IE 6 & 7. Those 2 contain the floated box as you've set a width on div[class="container"], which triggers 'hasLayout'. Google for 'containing floats' for solutions.
