This is a display web page that shows off a few features of a table-less css layout. It is built with validated (strict) xhtml and css. No deprecated tags, tables, javascripts, or inline styles. You may notice that this intro head section will wrap when collapsed but, will not expand the area into the columns below - it is built to include a vertical scroll when necessary.

Left Col

This area is a div with a fixed width of 170 pixels, and with a left "float", making it stick to the left side. It is "indented" 8 pixels from the actual browser window edge because the body has a style rule, padding of 8 pixels.

Middle Col

This area is a div with an offset "relative" position and an adjustable width, and is therefore "squishy".
 
 

And in case we forgot anything else, this lower area can exist, too.
