It assumes that the center column will always be the longest, and uses border colors to give the appearance of background colors to the left and right columns. This won't mesh well with your desire to add a gradient background image in the right and left columns. > - The columns all seem to have padding or margins that I can't get > rid of.

Working around ie bugs is much easier when the target isn't moving (or at least is moving less :-) ). > - the copyright div in the left column and the photobox div in the > right > must each be locked to the exact bottom of the page at > all times in their appropriate column. I think you will need to either move these two items to the bottom of the center column in the source and absolutely position them bottom: 0; or add a footer element and position them from there. Hopefully this will get you started. This layout would be a lot more straight forward if you didn't have to work around ie6's shortcomings :-(. -- Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
