You do not want a column dedicated to an image. That's not semantic at all. Just have the background image on the left column or the wrapper for both columns, and yes, have padding. Beware of box model problems with old browsers like IE 5: to avoid this, you can have a fixed width wrapper with the background image, and an inner div with a left margin equal to the background image and an auto width. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
