It should do anyway, unless you are using absolute positioning. URL?

Hi,
your post sounds like the second try of your basic question. I fear it's
not so basic... I thought a bit - you might try it like your first
attempt, two divs side by side, giving each a border of 1px (wich gives
a sum of 2 px) and move the right div with margin-left:-1px one pixel to
the left. Then you have a border with a width of 1px and the length of
the longer div.
Don't forget to set the div with the negative margin position:relative,
since IE will hide a part of the div otherwise.

No, Kerberos uses float. So the floated column may overlap.
Kerberos: add an element with 'break: right' within the main div after
the two column divs.

My mistake. To make up for it, I'll point out that I think you mean
"clear" instead of "break"?

Are you aware that there are no background colors set? My browser
default background color is not white, so it's pretty obvious.

Many browser allow you to change the default (background) color.

I don't think that's relevant. Like Johannes said, many browsers let you
set default page colors. Even Netscape 4.x has that option. Try looking
around your own browser prefs and you may find this setting somewhere.

Noone said the factory-installed default background color was gray. I
just said that my browser default wasn't white. I changed mine from
white to something less harsh on the eyes.
You might consider doing likewise, then you'd see right away when you
forget to set body colors in your stylesheet.

Interesting. Then I think setting body's background color as white would
force the browser of users who prefer to use a less agressive color to
actually a flashy white. Maybe it wouldn't be nice for these people /
antiethical. I think most web sites don't have a predefined bg color, then
these users are used to a color that is less harsh. If suddenly the bg is
white, it might ennoy them.
