Only until you develop the mindset to use it.

Then you will wonder why you waited so long...

Hmmm. I must have offended Mr Site. He appears to have removed his posts in
this thread from googles archive, picked up his bat and ball and gone home.

Little does he know that these posts remain on usenet servers around the
world for months to come

Mr. Site thinks you are a stupid prick. He also thinks usenet sucks.

Ok, here goes....

I've given the center column a background colour, and the two outer columns
a border so you can see how it fills the space. You need to play around with
margins and paddings to suit your application, but this should point you in
the general direction ok...

That's true Jukka, if a table is easier if you want equal height columns.
However, non-equal height columns of the type Bazley needs are trivial. I
intended to point that out as well, but I got distracted by work so ended up
leaving my post as above.

Yes, yes it does. Unfortunate that.

Well that is good because I was getting pretty tired of his
idiotic attacks on people he did not understand.

He was about to be introduced to Jerry Stuckle in my killfile.
And my killfile is not like any other. I have a vast store of
personal experience about these and have found loopholes and
flaws in their design that have enabled me to settle in very
comfortably, to study quietly with all the things one needs for
solitary and productive reflection in them all.

Armed with such experience, I designed my own kf with no
loopholes, no comforts, and terrible plumbing.

I had only started to notice him before he had a go at me for having a go at
his pdf.

Just noticed that he has taken his list of pdfs down, including a page that
was about C++. Must have been really cranky, especially to morf into the
usenet.sucks troll. Can you see him stalking me across usenet?

That actually bears clarifying. A-OK-SITE (aka ) has
morfed into .

You ever think it is you with the problem. You seem to be a real punk.
