It is extremely easy to do with 'CSS table'[1], but browser-support for this part of CSS standards is ranging from weak to non-existent. If 'equal height columns' matters, then a good starting-point is 'Equal height boxes with CSS, part II'[2] with demo[3]. As mentioned: browser-support for 'CSS table' is the problem, but other than the usual 'faux column' method and the 'hidden padding-/negative margin-bottom' method - both referred to quite often here on css-d, there is the 'javascript-assisted'[4] method. So one can always find a ready-made way to achieve such a 'much wanted' layout. regards Georg [1]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#q2 [2]http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200406/equal_height_boxes_with_css_part_ii/ [3]http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/equal_height_ii/ [4]http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/holy-gruel/juanpercent.htm -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
