Not true. There are at least several more ways to skin the cat

(and other pages)
These all give you vertically liquid headers.

Only if the value for width is fixed. For a lovely new variant on this
method which gives you almost complete control on how you order the
columns, see
<http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/>
I much prefer this method to the ones I came up with - however it should be
noted that although you can reorder the columns just about any way you want
using this basic technique, you can't have fixed width side columns and a
liquid center. If you must have that (and a liquid header), then my layouts
mentioned at the top will do.
