Ah, true. I guess this isn't exactly what I wanted either.

There is one thing that might get this closer.

Georg's examples have an extra div inside the 50% width side1 / side2. See:

<div id="side2">
<div>
<p>a side column &#8211; <b>third</b> in source.</p>
</div>
</div>

I think if you remove that div so that it's like:

<div id="side2">
a side column &#8211; <b>third</b> in source.
</div>

the text doesn't flow around, it goes *under*. Now however, because
the width of the center div is fixed, you could float: left a div of
half the size just to push the text out from under that area. Do the
same on the left side with a float: right. That will give you two
columns of text which still isn't exactly what we want but the text
should flow around the center element.
