Hi Georg (and everyone!),

Using your suggestions as a reset-point, I have come up with the following:

http://nyslittreedata.advantex.net/new/default/default.htm

To be compared to the "static/broken" version:

http://nyslittreedata.advantex.net/new/base/base.htm

I have renamed my div/ids and cleaned up a bunch of naming conventions, and
I'm using a little javascript called "Nifty Corners" to round out the boxes
where I wanted to.  (yes, I cheated... So punch me later ;)

I have not re-exported my images yet, but that will come.

This latest version looks fine as long as there's enough content in the
white area in the middle, but as you can see, in Firefox, without enough
content, the left column and main column do not extend down to the footer.
However, in IE 6, they do... Strange.

This is very close to what I want... But unless I stick a single pixel image
in the "MainContent" area and force the height (a no-no, I'm sure :), I'm
still not quite there yet.  I tried adding height:100% to html and body, and
to the two columns and even their container, but then the footer stays put
and the content runs over it when the content is longer.

Is this a case where I need to use the technique found at
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ ...?  And if so, should I
create an image to be applied to the BODY to fill in behind everything? 

Suggestions with this latest one are welcome -- am I closer to "a good way
of doing it" now than I was earlier? (I hope so!)

Thanks for your help!

Marc
