Off course, there were errors in the solution I presented that I'm sure you've noticed already and for which I apologize, namely: - Needless position:relative in the centered column: it would only be needed if this column were to contain other absolute positioned content. - Needless float:left and float:right in the side columns: float has no effect when applied to positioned elements. The purged code would be as follows:
<body style="text-align:center"> <div style="position:relative; width:80%; text-align:center; margin:0 auto;"> <div style="position:absolute; width:25%; left:0; top:0;">This is column 1</div> <div style="width:40%; margin:0 auto;">This is column 2, the one I want centered between 1 & 3</div> <div style="position:absolute; width:25%; right:0; top:0;">This is column 3</div> </div> </body> Anyway, I'm glad I could help!
