It looks like Bart is now going to use 1 large background image to solve this - which makes semantic sense (ie no empty divs) as well as keeps the markup a lot cleaner. Just for completeness' sake I might point out that using floats with negative margins is a more economical, and (I think) a more elegant way of having a fixed middle column with fluid sidebars than the absolutely positioned method I first thought of. Again, I don't know how it goes cross browser, but will work that out if this issue ever comes up for me. Or maybe someone already has a link?
