A link would be helpful. My first thought is that the third col. would 100% of it's container element. it's going to have issues if it's up against the others inside the same wrapper. I would think that since the first two are fixed, you should absolute: position them and try letting the third just occupy the remaining space. Applying styles to taste on the inside elements of the third. Whether you float or absolute position, they will be out of the document flow. So, you will need to position the third equal to the two widths (don't forget margins and padding of the first two columns) I would need to see the context in which you're trying accomplish this to see if this is a fit, though.
