RE: Is this possible with CSS
This depends on many other factors, such as colorization of the columns. But to get a basic layout, before color is considered you can do this: This will give you the basic layout you request, where the footer will always be below the longest div. But if you want to also color the side columns this will not work as well. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
