But that's tricky to do, because a "screenful" is not even close to being a consistent unit. With careful design, you can use CSS and perhaps a bit of DHTML/JavaScript to ensure that the height of each column is equal to the actual browser window size, whatever that may be, but it's still not an easy thing to do. Especially not with graceful degradation in the face of disabled browser features, accessibility concerns, etc. -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
