3 Column CSS

Apparently I'm not alone in having multicolumn CSS woes...

What I'm doing is using the float attribute of a div block. I'm essentially floating all three of my middle columns here right next to each other along their left sides. The actually appears to work properly in most browsers. It does have the downside of not being able to jam the rightmost column along the right most edge but I can live with that. I'm probably going to add some body=onLoad Javascript to do some browser-specific clean up.

I'm nowhere near done yet but I think the core mechanics of it work well enough to stick with it.
