> 1. You're using classes for your column divs instead of IDs.  Most CSS 

Sorry.. I quickly typed it up and am using IDs in my real markup.

This should more correctly illustrate my actual structure
<div id="columncontainer">
   <div id="column1container">
     <div id="column1content">
       content
     </div>
   </div>
   <div id="column2container">
     <div id="column2content">
       content
     </div>
   </div>
   <div id="column3container">
     <div id="column3content">
       content
     </div>
   </div>
</div>

I have considered naming the columns with names reflecting their 
purpose, but unfortunately source ordering in my case is essential 
because I refuse to use any hacks so content might be moving around from 
page to page.  Also, this is for a generic template so some people will 
be using the different columns for different purposes.

As far as the extra markup, that's also because it's for a template and 
I'm just providing extra markup for extra flexibility.

heh, I realized that as soon as I sent my last email.  I usually do that.

thanks,
