Thanks for your help, but regardless of the validity of "the look", the goal is to look like a newspaper (there will be page edge graphics, headline, etc.). So, whether it is better/worse for the reader may be a question for the site owner to decide, not me :)

Although I don't know how to flow text in a multi-column layout, I would advise not to do that. >From a functional point, it would be an incovenience unless the text is fairly short (that is about < 400px - height of a typical (?) viewport at 800x600px resolution). The reason? Simple. You don't want your readers scrolling up and down to read both (all three, four, whatever) columns. Columns can be more effectively used as a wehicle for content categorization (links vs content, content vs highlights, etc) and means for users to pick what they want to read, access, etc. Of course, this is only my opinion and I am certainly not the one to tell you what to do. Nevertheless, I hope this helps in any way with anything. :) Best regards, ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
