Hi Stuart, Looks OK in Safari 1.0, Firefox 1.0 and IE 5.2 (Mac OSX). The only problems occur when I try to reduce the width of the window - although it has to be a pretty dramatic reduction.
Safari & Firefox both start to fall apart when the window gets to about 605px wide (minus chrome): firstly the text in the left column drops to the bottom, then the text in the middle column starts to overlap the green of the left column, then the text in the right column drops to the bottom, then finally the 2 green areas merge into 1. In IE, the middle column gets narrower and narrower (but everything otherwise stays in its place) until about 500px wide: the text in the middle column starts to poke out into the right column green, eventually overlapping the right column's text. Finally, at about 425px, both 2 outer columns' text drop to the bottom. I guess this would only really be an issue if you were browsing with a PDA. If I saw this happening when I resized my window down, I'd resize it back up again until it looked acceptable.
