In this case it seems to work - the columns actually end when the content
does (although in this case all of the columns are close to the same length)
- you just can't notice it since there are no changes in background colors
or borders.

If you're happy with all the columns having the same background color and no
borders then CSS works fine.

Here is an example of a single CSS that handles header and footer, plus a
three
column layout.

  I'm sorry - is this not a good place to rant?  I'm pretty sure I've seen
  rants here before. nearly positive in fact.  ;^)

  And, mr fancypants, this is hardly a complaint that it "doesn't slice
bread"
  - this is a complaint that it doesn't allow authors to replicate most of
the
  layouts online.

  This is like somebody coming out with a new, replacement brick that won't
  let you build rectangular doors.

  Every time I get into this it amazes me that people send their "CSS
doesn't
  slice bread" rants to other places then [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-)
