Why do you think isn't this clean? Floating all blocks is a perfectly acceptable way of making columnar layouts, and no more "messy" than floating one block and assigning another one a side margin. As you've found, floating all blocks is usually the most reliable way, not just because you avoid the 3-Pixel Bug and other bugs, but also because you set up new block formatting contexts for each column, which is usually what is desired. If this works for your layout, great -- use it. Zoe -- Zoe M.
