Yes, you have missed something:
equal height columns with pure CSS:

there are more links I could give you to older methods, but this is
the *holy grail* of CSS columns. Anyone who hasn't seen this should.
Thanks for the info, but reading the implementation of the technique
reveals it is rife with "hacks", which so far I've managed to avoid
in the sites I've designed.
Given a choice of one table or hacks to do what one table already
does, I'll stick with the one table.
If the current specs still have height issues for divs (which it
seems they do), how can we be chastised for using a table to
accomplish what can't be accomplished without resorting to javascript
or "hacks" - it seems the lesser of the "evils".
As for more simply, just getting a container to contain floats:

I'm not having problems with floats.
