John ---- Good morning, John... I don't see any reason why one could not use CSS to create a layout of more than three columns. Granted, it gets a little problematic in terms of readability in narrow windows, but nowadays media queries comes to the rescue for that-- and for most all of us IE/6 and down are no longer an issue. But hack your way from here to eternity if need be. Either way, an easy way to do this is to use this layout generator and add a column[s]: <http://fu2k.org/alex/css/onetruelayout/example/interactive> Another possibility may be to use "CSS tables." These are not table layouts -- in the traditional sense of that concept -- they just look and behave like them. This is a simple example of a "css table" layout I did with three columns that folds to one column for mobile-handsets. <http://ccstudi.com/site/portfolio/z/index.html> It is based on this concept of an equal height column layout by Georg Sortun and is easily adaptable for more than three columns-- <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_34.html> [if you read the article -- see link at bottom of his page-- he'll show you how to adapt it for lower-life out of Redmond, too].
