I first tried their code by itself and it worked fine. When I merged it into my own, it worked fine with Firefox and Safari but not on IE 7.
IE7 displayed the 3rd column but the first two columns were not shown. I was able to reproduce with the original small test by adding a background-color statement to #lists. When this statement is omitted it works in all 3 browsers.
