I think this 3 column model [link] might work better than what you're using, ita. You want me to work on this some?
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Never mind. The alistapart model has the same problem. And the other model I was looking at -- [link] -- has a similar problem, but with the right column.
I think that the b.org pages that only use two columns (like this page) may need two use a different model from the 3 column pages (like message center).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My fantasy was that every page would be 3 column, and you could switch the right one off when you didn't want it.
CSS doesn't care about fantasy.
Jon, any and all help is great.

It's a nice fantasy. Luckily, as best as I can tell, the pages we have that need three columns don't have any long spaceless text in the middle one, so the model you're using should be fine with them. It's the two column pages that need adjusting.

How different a model are you talking? Would HTML need to be rearranged (well, other than ids and classes and that jazz) or is it a primarily CSS fix?

I think it would be primarily a css fix. Your html is pretty straightforward.
By the way, my bug seems to be fixed in IE7.

I think I've got it figured out and it is a pure css fix with just a few ids added/changed. I've tested it on IE6, IE7 and Firefox 2 on WinXP. Insent to ita.

Just chiming in, the CSS version looked good to me using Netscape 7.2 via Mac OS 10.4. Actually, until someone mentioned the asterisk issue I wasn't able to spot any differences in the graphic interface, although the hour and my current lack of sleep may be interfering.

Thanks, Jon. I'll have a look at that this weekend.
