You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, but the second link should be to your ISP.

Here's my tracert (which is strange in and of itself, but I can get to Salon):

OK, it's fixed.

Y'know, RCN always says that most problems can be solved by rebooting one's cable modem, but I never believe them...

Heh. That's always the first thing I do.

Um.

Okay. Treo software I can't live without. Go

Not specifically Treo, but useful nonetheless: [link]

Hey. New board.

Agendus is very pretty, but isn't as well integrated with the treo as I'd like. Specifically, it seems to require stylus input a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

CSS question -- is there any way to make a three column display with fixed widths of columns 1 and 3, with the middle column fluid? I have tried absolute positioning, but I can't work out if there's a width I can specify for #2 that doesn't have it overflowing into #3.

Your tag here.

ita, play around with this. [link]

Hmmmm.... What website have I seen that uses a layout like that....

Margin-left, margin-right! That's what I was missing! Thanks Eddie.

Jon, you hush.

Actually, it's been really interesting, and I'm almost done the one page.

Okay, I'm horizontally just fine. I have three columns, the middle one fluid, the right and left of fixed width and absolute positioning.

My problem now is that the container div (that has all these three) thinks it's only as tall as the not-absolutely-positioned middle div. Which isn't the tallest. So my footer (div after the 3 column container) is too high.

How do I get the container div to be as tall as its tallest div?
