Hi Larry :P You missed a few details. - He wants a header along the top, outside of the columns. - He wants the columns to scroll independently and doesn't want the body to scroll at all. All overflow happens within the columns. I tried to accomplish this using CSS tables and failed because of the independently scrolling part. The table cell expands vertically when there's more content than fits whether it's a real <td> or an element with display:table-cell. I couldn't get it to work even with table-layout:fixed. -- Vince Aggrippino Ghodmode Development http://www.ghodmode.com > -- > Chelsea Creek Studio > http://ccstudi.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
