IE4x and NN4x CSS columns can be simulated. See http://css.nu/examples/css-columns.html but...don't use Opera 3.5bx. Opera and I currently disagree about the rendering of 3 columns with width of 33%, and Opera is winning. Steve Traub has mostly won the Opera/2 columns battle with: http://www1.shore.net/~straub/wprmultb.htm > So, when can we expect an HTML COLUMN element? It was my understanding that we wouldn't be expecting an HTML COLUMN element; that we would instead be expecting an XML solution, since the next HTML will be XMLish. -- Sue Sims http://css.nu/
