CSS Validation

In my website, www.soulfulhearts.com, I use the following code in the head of each page to set column height for the outside columns in a three column layout which until recently passed validation with no warnings:

  <style type="text/css">
  <!-- #navcontainer1, #navcontainer2 {height: 975px;} -->
  </style>

Now all of my pages yield the following warning when validated:

{23          Do not put style rules inside HTML comments as they may be removed by user agent}

If the comments are removed the column heights are not read and since the outside columns have a different background color than the center column it results in a solid band across the bottom of the page which appears as one column rather than three. Any suggestions?
