Browsing around in the wiki, none of the fluid two column layouts seem to have equal length.
What I'm looking for is: Two content columns, equal width, % based with % gutter. (see my current css below): Left column to come first in source, either column may contain more content. Browsers are in strict mode. * {margin 0; padding 0;} #left { border: 1px solid #fff; width: 44%; float: left; margin: 2%; } #left h2 { font-family: geneva,arial,'lucida sans', sans-serif; color:#fff; background: url(../img/left_h2.png); text-align: center; position: relative; top: -7px; left: -7px; width: 225px; height: 30px; font-size: 21px; line-height:28px; } #right { border: 1px solid #fff; width: 44%;margin: 2%;float: left; } #right h2 { font-family: geneva,arial,'lucida sans', sans-serif; color:#fff; background: url(../img/right_h2.png) no-repeat; text-align: center; position: relative; top: -7px; left: -7px; width: 225px; height: 30px; font-size: 21px; line-height:28px; } I was surprised at how much % slack was needed for IE6 to provide for the 4px of borders. Second question: Both columns will have a min width, either set via css or determined by content. When this causes the right column to drop below the left, I would like both columns to expand to use all available width (roughly 95%). Is this possible? With or without javascript? Just to make things really fun, I'd like to nest a similar pair of expandable floats inside one of the columns. -- Richard Grevers New Plymouth, New Zealand Orphan Gmail invites free to good homes. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
