IE 6<\/h3>\n
I’m sure most of you immediately thought of all the problems with this in IE 6. We know darn well min\/max width isn’t going to work in IE 6. And setting top\/left\/bottom or height: 100% for those sidebars isn’t going to work either. So what do we do?<\/p>\n
There are a number of ways to deal with it, you just need to assess the exact situation on your own site to determine how. Maybe you don’t mind min-max width breaking (all that happens in IE 6 is that the max width is 100% and the min width is 0%). Maybe your sidebars aren’t different colors so you don’t care if they extend all the way to the bottom or not. <\/p>\n
I think the most elegant solution to dealing with IE 6 (As Dan suggested in his Absolute Columns article) is the Dean Edwards IE7.js script. Just chuck this little nugget in the head section and your troubles are over:<\/p>\n
<!--[if lt IE 7]>\r\n <script src=\"\/\/ie7-js.googlecode.com\/svn\/version\/2.0(beta3)\/IE7.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\r\n<![endif]--><\/code><\/pre>\nTesting<\/h3>\n
I’ve looked at these in IE 6 and up, and in all the other popular browsers I have installed and they worked in everything. If you guys find problems though, let me know and we can work on solutions.<\/p>\n

I thought I would take a crack at a couple of common multi-column fluid-width layout styles that are notoriously quirky with CSS. One way to accomplish a multi-column fluid layout is to set the columns with percentages.
