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?
Hmmmm.... What website have I seen that uses a layout like that....
I got stupid. The money was too good.

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

I cheated, and floated the right hand column, and then had the footer use clear: left, but that's not right. It can't be.

Here's a decent tutorial [link] I think I'm still stuck with using one table for what I'm trying to do, though.

CSS is cool and all, but I don't get why tables are considered "old fashioned".

Is there any superduper easy way to make screen captures from Quicktime 7?

If you have QT Pro, you can just choose "Export"-->"Movie to Picture"

CSS is cool and all, but I don't get why tables are considered "old fashioned".
- lead to bloated markup
- crap for text readers and accessibility in general
- PITA for redesigns
- bad for document flow
- degrade like ass on toast
- the W3C says so
