The technique I use is exactly the same, except I use a margin on the
container div instead of padding. Padding is better because that way you
don't need to add yet another container div if you want a background
(especially faux column one) behind the columns. This holds up well in
IE7 and IE6 with no problems that I've seen. I think I shall switch to
it. Thanks!

I'm not seeing it on Georg's demo page, but I have seen such a thing on
more complex pages I've made with my similar method. So yes, it's
probably safest to include it.

I'm not seeing the need for this -- the layout holds together fine in
narrow windows for me. What is this supposed to do?
By the way, do any of you think we're ready to start using display:
table layouts, and just feed IE the alternate CSS for these negative
margin layouts? I've written article about it, but I haven't ever used
it for a real site. I'm getting ready to complete rebuild two big sites
that will probably not get rebuilt for several years after this, so I
want to choose my layout method wisely.
Thanks,
Zoe
