I could see how this could mess up a layout unless you go to great lengths in testing.

There is simply no simple to do a full-height multi-column layout in CSS.
You ALWAYS have to rely on one or more hacks.
The reason there are so many tutorials out there is because it's so
difficult to pull off. You either have to use floats (which tend to screw
up when you resize the browser or have very large display areas), faux
background images, absolute positioning just to get that right column over
or some other hack. Even after all that you still end up with view port
problems or
They tend not to degrade well, almost all of them require 10 times more code
than a simple table layout and all of them have limitations (no borders,
fixed column sizes, etc) Lastly even if you do get something working you
have viewport issues (since CSS defines parent containers only as the
visible portion in the viewport).
I know how to do this. My point is simply that this should not be so
difficult or obtuse.
