If the sidebar becomes much longer than the contents, then yes, you
might have a problem; #page won't grow further than the computed height
for the contents area.
But I think there is a better way:
#page {
position:relative; /* add this */
}
#nav {
width: 160px;
float: left;
position:relative; /* add this to your original stylesheet */
top:0; /* and this */
/* rest of styles */
}
By simply using position relative for your side bar, the bug disappears.
Tested Safari 1.2.5/OS X 10.3.7 and Omniweb 5.1b5.
No side effects in Firefox, nor IE mac. If IE win causes problems, hide
those rules:
*>#nav { /* rules, IE win won't see me */ }

Yes, please do. I suspect that is somehow related to that old bug I
mentioned previously.
