I don't often speak up against a solution, but I'd advice you to stay as
far away from the mentioned 'holy grail' as you possibly can.
It is one of the least tested, prepared and cross-browser reliable
solutions released onto the web in later years.

It provokes too many bugs and differences between browsers, and few of
them are cared for. This hits all versions of IE/win hard.

You can hack and tweak your way around most weaknesses in that 'holy
grail' layout, but you'll end up with a completely different
layout-solution before you've made it anywhere near cross-browser
reliable anyway, so I don't think it is worth it.


The 'negative margins' solution...

...will work in your case, as will just about any...

- header first.
- followed by 3 columns float and/or non-floats.
- maybe with a footer at the bottom.

...except the mentioned 'holy grail'.
