Re: [WSG] multiple columns and 100% height
No, that's not it. Now I'm totally dying because I can't find it. Some guy had figured out, and I believe had tested a way to audtomatically keep column heights at equal heights to each other. No javascript and it didn't even appear to be a hack. He made some comment that he stared at his monitor in disbelief because it worked. Then he told some colleagues and everybody was mystified by the utter simplictiy of the method. I'm not joking...but it might not have been widely tested (I can't remember this part). Guess I should start keeping a history of every site I visit in the browser from now on...darn.

Re: [WSG] multiple columns and 100% height
One of the recent suggestions on balancing columns without javascript was to put a tiny graphic in the columns set at the appropriate repeat. From Vaska.WSG, we have: Digging around in there I don't think I see the article I was originally looking for, but this seems to be the same thing (overflow: auto;). It's not exactly as I remembered it either, but that's a different subject (my poor memory)...
