Methods to get the footer to stick to the bottom of the page, unless 
your content is too long, are described on our wiki page:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FooterInfo

To get the borders to extend, delete the height: 100% from .pagebody.  
This is limiting the height of that div to the height of the viewport.  
The min-height that you have on there is what you want.

I don't know why IE is giving them a solid color, but they do overlap 
the main content area in both browsers.  This is because you declare all 
ul's in #sidebar to be 155px wide with a 8px left margin.  Nested uls 
get pushed over further.  Adding a width of 150px or smaller to 
ul.parent ought to fix it, or just remove the width on #sidebar ul 
altogether.
