 Hi,

 padding on either side of each column.

 Many thanks in advance,

Hi Aaron,

 The CSS it totally weird, how did you derive it ?

It's hard to explain how I came up with the CSS for my layouts, but here 
goes... Basically there were two important things that needed to work. I 
needed full height column background colours and I wanted the main column to 
come first in the source even though it is second on the page (this was 
needed for good SEO).

To make equal height columns work I had to make sure that the column 
background divs always stretched to the height of the longest column 
content. I did this by nesting the column background divs and I put the 3 
divs of content in the centre, side by side. From here the position of each 
background div and content div is simply moved horizontally with relative 
positioning to the right place. Any overhang is cut off by an 
overflow:hidden on the outermost div.

It took me a few weeks of experimenting before I came up with the final 
method that works in all browsers. My notebook now has pages and pages of 
weird boxes drawn all over the place along with lists of measurements and 
calculations. My friends must have thought I was going mad!

Great thanks alot, I could not get a footer to position properly on the 
example I was using. I see yours has a footer which is great.

Many thanks Matt,
