As Pete said, absolute positioning can make things easier. Barring that, it's sometimes easier to break the layout recursively into nested two column layouts.

RE: [WSG] 4-column layout
Title: 4-column layout >> is there any examples that allow for a mixture of fluid and fixed divs? can you have any of the columns position:absolute or do they all have to be floated? (maybe you have a requirement for a footer to run right across the bottom of the 4 cols etc?). just thinking it may be easier if the extreme left and/or right columns could be position:absolute... pete
