I beg to differ, use fixed size for the middle column instead and let the right side column get whatever is left over. The problem on my screen is that the right side column is way to wide and squeezes the middle column into a thin stripe of text, basically unreadable. Believe it or not, but the most common resolution today is still 800x600. And, even with a 19" screen and 1280x1024, I *never* use my browser full-screen, I keep it at around half the screen size, and I basically refuse to use websites that does not scale well to this size. And I know Im not the only one. Designing webpages for big screens with high resolutions is just bad practice, imho! -- R
