Don't think there is *one* solution that covers all, but when I mixed my own preferences into the 'holygrail' from ALA, I at least got a somewhat working solution that isn't too heavy. Only tested quickly in Firefox 2.x, Opera 8.x & 9.x, Safari 2.x and IE6, and have no idea what IE7 makes out of it. Maybe someone will enlighten me :-) At least it is quick to "switch between columns", as one only has to comment out one line and set the non-existent column to 'display' none to make that happen. More variations on the subject is of course possible. Test-examples: 3-col: <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_1600.html> 2-col #1: <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_1602.html> 2-col #2: <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_1604.html> I added in a 'min/max-width expression'[1] for IE6, and an important part of my preferences is to 'keep IE6 in quirks mode'[2] - to make sure it works. The 'equal height' columns solution should be trouble-free, as it is the 'borders as background' solution I have used for years. The rest may need a bit more testing and refinement - and some (soul) searching ;-) regards Georg [1]http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_14.html [2]http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_16.html -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
