Just put your border on the fixed width column's background image, assuming it is shortest. If any fixed width column is longest, you don't need the background image - a CSS-defined border will work just as well. If you are looking for an "any column longest" solution, solutions exist, but none are completely cross-browser. Either decide on your target browsers, or go for a table based solution. But check the Wiki first: <http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AnyColumnLongest> FWIW - If you think CSS cross-browser support is bad, don't attempt JavaScript! Cordially, David -- www.hucklesby.com
