Important to know that you're using CSS and not tables for layout. So what you want is those two side columns to extend all the way to the bottom of the page.
There are a couple of ways to do thiis. You'll probabliy have to study some code and figure out what technique will work best for you. I'm going to go look for some good CSS samples sites I've seen. You can also do a search for "CSS equal height columns".

Here are a few sites to try:

http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_4.htm (check the examples listed on the left side. Ignore the ugliness of those, it's got nothing to do with the code).
