But my question would be, why do you want 3 equal sized columns?
That's the paradigm shift you probably need to make, deciding why you
need to design that way to start with.
The best CSS sites will come from designers that embrace the
*limitations* of CSS and create designs that exploit the strengths of
CSS not seek to bend it to the old ways.
Just a tired Friday thought...
I found this article quite enlightening:
http://psychology.wichita.edu/optimalweb/default.htm which doesn't tell
you how to get 3 equal sized columns, but might help you rethink your
approach.
