Faux columns are ideal for fixed width layouts, such as 760 px. They
are very hard to use on fluid width layouts, unless the layout has
"max-width" implemented. If you are not used to working with fluid
layouts in CSS, learn the method first with a fixed layout and then we
can talk about the creative solutions for dealing with percentages.

For faux columns you can just have an image that is one pixel high and
as wide as your container. It's very important to remember to make
sure that your text is still legible without the background image(s),
so make sure you have good background color fallback for your columns.
Then set the image as the background with repeat-y and you should be
done.
