Indeed :-) You'll have to alter the min-width for the test-container for this... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_chaos_17.html> ...to make it stop at the preferred width for a right column and throw in a scroll-bar. I set it to 200px, while you would prefer 800px, I think. Otherwise it's pretty much the same as the one you have created - apart from my test case being inside a prepared test page. > one other test that i was playing with can be seen here, http:// > www.ohtogo.com/rightmost-800-in-900.html It is working as you described :-) > this uses a bit of IE trickery to get around min-max issues in IE. > more info can be found here: http://www.svendtofte.com/code/ > max_width_in_ie/ Must be expanded in order to work reliable in 'IE6 standard mode'.

You should also look at methods for 'deliberately dropping a float' - what otherwise is seen by most as a problem. That'll work perfectly and in all browsers, and the source-code order defines which float drops and which one is staying on top. You can even hide the dropped float... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/molly_1_11.html> ...which is what happens in the image-construct at top of center-column when window-width is below some 770px. Demo/test case... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_chaos_16.html> ...which only need for those floats to be reversed and tuned, source and style, to suit your case. --- So, there are plenty of solutions around - just waiting for the right case/problem to show up. regards Georg -- 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/
