Roberto:
Thank your for responding.

>Am I right?< 

It's perfect!  I never thought of using position:absolute that way.  Since
you've broadened my thinking, you've opened up a whole lot of other
possbilities where I can use this same concept.

Thanks Tons!
Jack

Hi Jack!

The following example seems to do all that you require, while remaining
elastic and independent of percent values attributed to the lateral divs:

<body style="text-align:center">
<div style="position:relative; width:60%; text-align:center; margin:0
auto;"> <div style="position:absolute; float:left; width:25%; left:0;
top:0;">This is column 1</div> <div style="position:relative; width:40%;
margin:0 auto;">This is column 2, the one I want centered between 1 &
3</div> <div style="position:absolute; float:right; width:25%; right:0;
top:0;">This is column 3</div> </div> </body>

Am I right?

Roberto

P.S.: I tried it in I.E. 5.0 -> I.E. 7.0 without any problems.
