can I do this with divs?

[lozina]

I would like to have two columns, the right column would contain a growing number of divs each of which may contain text... the left column is one div that should grow to fit the same height as whatever the right column is... I can get the side by side layout but I can't get the left column to grow, even specifying height 100%. Any ideas?

Please don't mention tables I know it can be done with tables but I'm trying to avoid them right now, thanks
