I reckon it could be done using eric meyer's slantastic method along with height: 100%; applied to 3 main column divs floated left with some left negative margins on them... oh and italic text. It'll probly look a bit naff and text-resizing will be an issue at larger sizes. Backwards compatibility is sucky too so you'd need an IE5.5 and below filter to convert back to plain columns. http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html It'd be interesting to see if it works. Best off with flash if looks are more important than search engines though.
