Wow, that breaks everything! =) How about 4.01 Transitional?

Can't do that. My left nav and side bar areas can't be a percentage,
they are fixed widths. So the width on my center area was set to 100%.
I actually removed it so it would use the inherited "auto" width.

Actually, all browsers seem to recognize that a width without a unit is
a pixel width, but for readability, I'll add px.
As for mixing absolute and relative lengths - well, I don't want to set
an absolute length on my mainContent div because I want it to take up
all the remaining space. Setting the width to "Auto" should take care
of that.
Sigh.
I should've taken that CSS Box Model class again at CFUNITED!
