No one was able to answer paulg's question:

I need help resolving a CSS issue.
Take a look at:

http://www.jacketflap.com/profile2.asp?member=bobba

1) View it in Firefox. As you'll see, the side_item DIV is overlapping the sectionheader DIV below it. I've tried applying a clear:right; to the sectionheader, but that bumps it down vertically below the height of the right column. That makes me think something may be unbalanced, but I can't find it. I tried changing the order of the div's in my document so that it's 1-left_column 2-center 3-right_column. Then, having a clear:right; on the sectionehader DIV drops it down below the side_item DIV as expected, but then the right column bumps down vertically below the height of the center column. Argh! How do I fix this?

2) View the same URL in Safari. For some reason, the side_item div is not floating to the right. How do I fix that?

Thanks!
Paul

I'd float all the divs like this: img.photobucket.com/albu...egooddale/fl.png

I wasn't sure what screen resolutions you want it to work in, so you may have to play around with the widths.

Hi, I need this to work from 800 x 600 on up. The left & right columns are fixed-width & the center is liquid. The div's are ordered left, right, center in the document.

I see your PNG with the float suggestions, but what order should the DIV's appear in the mark-up?

And, please let me know if there will be any Clear DIV's needed & where they should go.

Actually, now that I look at your solution, I also need to point out that restricting the width of some of the content isn't an option, as that section can be pretty long. I need a solution that floats the side_item DIV properly to the right & wraps everything else around it to the left.

Here's a couple of different versions:

Floated: lazydragon.dreamhosters.com/test-3.html

Absolute positioned: lazydragon.dreamhosters.com/test-2.html

In the right-hand column: lazydragon.dreamhosters.com/test.html
