so, i need to do a three-column layout. i don't care if any of the columns are fluid. i want them to be, from left to right, the following widths:
180
360
360and to have a header. the footer isn't necessary. the holy grail says you have to set the minimum width of the central column to be twice the width of the left-hand column plus the width of the right-hand column, but that makes it 720 and i want it to be 360.
there must be an easier way, right? i would use the box model, but the images in the right-hand column are big and will break it.
can anyone tell me what i need to do to get three-columns fixed width?
i will send a gift to the helpfullest helper!
thanks,

check your email I sent a rough

haha. yeah, i saw that too, alice. thanks, anyway!
epill, i have no idea when i'll be back to the states, but probably next spring sometime. i'll keep you posted!
you should totally come for a visit to london. i haven't seen gordy since he's been back in town. we should get him out again soon. and it's been over a year now since tara was here. time flies!

you have me so curious on this
fixed columns ...
I think this might be more what you are after?

that glish one is too simple for this. it's an example of a layout that will break when it encounters images. that first link you posted is fairly interesting and will probably help me out when i get to the gallery! for the main layout of the site, though, i'm just packing in all sorts of container divs and it's working okay so far. but you never know with these things. i'll keep you posted.

I've only "toyed" around with CSS ... but its becoming mesmorizing.
(must go outside and enjoy the sunshiine)
good luck - and do post the final!
