Hi Shelly,
At my side (still Win98SE) it is not working in FF1.07 either; see 
screenshot 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/screenshot-3cols-shelly.gif>.

With 2 more clears it is working in FF1.0 too, but Mozilla 1.7.1 and NS6 
still protesting.
See testpage 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-shelly-columns.htm>.

To compare: see also another testpage with 3 cols 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-odyssey-new-a.htm>.

Greetings,
francky
