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.

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

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.

I just tested my fix on Safari under OSX, and it looks good.

I've been poking around at the versions of software we're based on and what's out there. We're way behind, and I can see definite gains for the board's stability, expandability, and reusability by taking advantage of more recent versions of PHP and MySQL, not to mention the PostgreSQL option.
I sent an email to support asking for more details about our required upgrade, and also asked if our current activity could be supported on one of their newer offerings, the virtual dedicated server.
And, in all that, when we can get PHP 5, MySQL 5 and at least PostgreSQL 8 without breaking all our links.
Will post when the answers come.
