Hi Ted,
Due to "poupular demand" ;), I've implemented faux-columns techniques on a
few "liquid" layouts here:
http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/liquid.asp (see thumbnails at the bottom
of the document).
% values match, which mean 20% of an image will be positionned in relation
to the same percentage for the element (background).
