what do you mean by "not purely html"? This article from 2006 is a good read explaining a div/css based three column layout: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail/ Keep all css rules in an external style sheet, use classes instead of styling elements individually.

@Webmaster, I know this debate about getting serious on the the tables issue but is CSS not purely html? So if you were for eg doing some code in eg php for some function, is the CSS formatting not going to be affected by this? An easier way would be to create the code in a Div tag and place the element. Div tags have very basic properties, how do you control the formatting and correct placement of the elements during run time in a 3 column layout? Applying the Style properties is really not the answer because it does not work, too much time wasted on tweeking where the elements land during runtime. HTML it seems has an uglier side when it come to code outside it scope, yet it cannot offer the same functionality that the code does. So what solution would you recommend for a 3 column layout for code that's not purely html but gets translated to html?
