Been getting a few emails asking about how I do saila.com’s three-column, fluid layout with only CSS.

As a result, I dug up an old test page I used to finalize the details of the layout (I had been using a CSS-based three-column, fluid layout since June 2000 but updated it in April of this year). The plan is/was to produced a comprehensive tutorial on this (date TBA).

As so often happens, I coincidentally stumbled onto bunch of recent, and related writings on the subject:

• Owen Briggs (of The Noodle Incident) is known for his CSS Box Lessons, but his recent Design Rant should become a must read for any Web designer.
• FOUC: I’ve seen it a number of times, never on saila.com because I have lots of head content. Read BlueRobot.com’s interesting discovery to find out I mean.
• Two potentially important documents: the W3C’s proposed Multi-column layout in CSS and the working draft for the CSS3 module: the box model.
