equal div height in single container

Hi,

I am trying to get my left div (div id="sidebar") to automatically reach the right div height (div id="page")

I have looked through the other posts and have gathered that the floats need to be cleared but every time I do that the positioning of everything gets whacked... Is there another way I can do this?

Thanks in advance.
