thanks all ofc some scrolling will be needed - that is unavoidable. I just want it to be 'appropriate' scrolling.
The wrapper div around the image sounds like a nice idea. But imgs are just one example of non-breaking content. I'll consider all of those options, but I will still search for a 3 col layout that does have its center col expand under these conditions. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. the site is CMS-driven, so i dont have control of the content. More to the point, I know there will be cases of overly wide images. thanks again ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
