this is my first question on stackoverflow after doing a lot of research without the appropriate success :-(.
I'm struggling with the task to do a three-column-layout with various amount of content and thereby differing height for each columns content. But the columns should be of same height, so that their background-color reaches down to the bottom. So, I found examples like this
How to make rounded corners on equal height columns
and of course this one
http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hacks
But they don't do the trick, as they use overflow:hidden and do a fake height pretty much longer than the page would ever be. So of course, the background-color of each column goes down to the bottom and further. That's fine, but not enough, as I do have to shape the content element's background with rounded corners. It should look like the image on following adress:

Maybe anybody of you encountered a similar challenge to fix this by pure css.
Thank you,
