Try this: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/css/threecolumns/index.htm The trick is to use two background images set to percents, one or more must be partially transparent. I did this about a year ago and haven't gotten around the writing up an accompanying tutorial yet. One day I'll write this up (though I'm sure someone else already has). :( Russ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
