You are trying to set widths on an object that is inherintly width-less.
Span's are inline elements which means they expand/contract to fit their
contents. You are wanting to use <div> tags which will accept a width
assigned to them. And then you will need to position them someway,
float is a popular method...add a float:left; to all three of your
columsn and you should be set. Good luck.
