Thanks Eric & Tony, I believe I can tackle this last problem now. I've got all three columns floating and the ONLY issue is the height. I'm going to use your suggestion Tony and use a JavaScript. Found a few online and will implement, then I should be good to go.

Thanks for your help and patience!

Do... or do not. There is no try. Yoda

The only problem with declaring the height is that all of your pages are forced to be that height regardless of the content. The best thing to do for your width issue is to use percentages. For example:

#left {width:25%;}
#middle{width: 50%}
#right {width: 25%}

Also, if you dont declare a width for your middle, then it should resize depending on screen size.

Also, make sure you % does not exceed 99.9%

Also remove the <p></p> after your </html> tag at the end of the page, it's invalid code in this location.

The auto height should solve your problem when you float. I wouldn't put any unnecessary code in your page if you don't have to.

Eric, auto-height will not resolve the issue in this case. The sidebars will be as tall as the content and not the height of the center content.

If you read the thread, I advised him to do this using inline styles for each page. This will resolve the issue for him.

Tom,

You are correct about the auto height; however, if he wants all three columns the same height with floated elements, then you want the height:100%, but only if the three columns are in a container. Its the container that the individual columns height is based off from.

The only reason I advise against the use of the inline example is because it sets his columns all the same height regardless of how much content he actually has on the page.

OK, I see what you getting at. The floated divs will expand to 100% height of the parent container and not the browser window. The parent container height must be set for this to work.

Using inline styles to set the floated div height will not work anyway if the width of the container is not a fixed width. I rarely use percentage widths anyway, so an inline style for each page is no big deal. But you are right, this is not the most elegant way of accomplishing the task.
