Darrel, No need to threaten us with tables. Just ask for what you need nicely and we'll deliver. :-) I'm pretty sure that this layout props open to its content: http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_4.htm And I've written an article on how to build a similar layout: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=BB650 It's based on the method shown here: http://www.pixelsurge.com/experiment/negative_margins_2.html And you could always create a hybrid layout: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=EB8C5 I'm positive there are other layouts that use negative margins to achieve the same effect (Georg probably has some) but these are the only examples I have readily at hand.
