Thanks for the help. Please accept my humble apologies, I referenced the wrong layout. It's actually this 2-column layout that seems to require Quirks mode: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-2-column-left-menu-ems.htm. You can save this page's source and open it in Notepad. Delete the top line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
When I do this, the right-column completely covers up the left-column. Actually, the same thing will happen in Firefox if I convert this layout to an html version and delete the declaration in question. -Melbeach ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gunlaug Sørtun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Melbeach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <css-d@lists.css-discuss.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 12:51 PM Subject: Re: [css-d] "Perfect 3 column liquid layout" (Matthew James Taylor) and Quirks Mode > Melbeach wrote: > > > I've been experimenting with the different 3-column layout methods and I think > > I like this version the best: > > http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm.
