If you want a 3-column layout with all 3 columns fixed, then give each column a width and float them. If you just want to prevent the layout from squishing at small window widths, you could use the min-width property (along with an easy workaround for IE, which does not support the property). Here are some layout examples you can investigate: http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/pvii_columns/col2fixed.htm Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com "Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday". ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
