Thank you Georg and Roger for your help. 

I have incorporated your recommendations into
http://www.availcompany.com/webdev/webcode/css_test4.htm as follows:

1. Per Georg added:

* html div#column2 {height: 100%;}
* html div#column2 table {float: left; margin-right: -10px;}

2. per Gerog and Roger, Removed the clearing-div, and added #footer
{clear: both;}. Do you still think I do not need .clearfix even though
threecolwrap wraps three left floated columns?

3. Per Georg, I am reading about 'em resizing bug'[1] in IE/win.

{font-size: 100%;}

The short answer: IE/win has calculation-bugs. 100% isn't always 100%.
The quick solution, add...

* html div#column2 {height: 100%;}
* html div#column2 table {float: left; margin-right: -10px;}

...which will provide some space for IE to put its bugs without messing
up the layout.

It isn't.
Remove the clearing-div, and add...

#footer {clear: both;}

---

Note: you should also add...

html {font-size: 100%;}

...to avoid the 'em resizing bug'[1] in IE/win.

regards
        Georg
