CSS 2 column layout – consistent height

I made a basic 2 column layout for a page:

[CODE]
<body style=”background-color:#c0c;”>
<div style=”float:left; width:250px; background-color:#ccc;”>

I made a basic 2 column layout for a page:<br>
</div>
<div style=”margin-left:250px; background-color:#ff0;”>
I want both columns to be the same height, even if the height of the content is different.
</div>
</body>
[/CODE]

Is there a way I can make the height of the shorter column equal to the longer one? I want to use this kind of layout on all my pages, but sometimes the right column is taller and sometimes the left column is taller.
