If you use borders you can't reliably use 100% in width because of the different box models. You have to leave room for borders and padding. Height can't be 'forced' with percent. For your column you want a line, how were you trying to get one with an hr or a border-bottom.
An alternative to px is ems that might work and still give a somewhat more flexible height. As far as 3 column css layouts take a look at http://positioniseverything.net and look at the various layout demos. This is a site well worth visiting for anyone getting serious (or playful) with CSS. Cheryl D.

On many of my pages I have a table with 3 sections (I can see where Drew's css for columns will come in handy here), and for the middle section, I have a line. I tried using % for height just to have a line, and IE messed it up really bad, so I had to put px. Also, I tried to use % for body width and it didn't do well, so, as you explained, it works better using a px width. ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
