/********************************************************************************
To adjust the side col widths, or the vertical col dividers, a certain set of values must be changed
all at the same time and by exact amounts or problems will result. Each of these group's member values
have been marked off with comments that start with "Critical...". For example, if the left col width needs
to be changed then all the values marked "Critical left col dimension value" MUST have their pixel values
altered by the same amount. Certain of these left col width values are marked "(moves inversly)", and
these get changed by the same pixel amount but inversly to the other values. So if margin-left on .outer
is increased by 10px, then the width of .outer must decrease by 10px, and so on.
To change the width of the entire layout, .wrapper, .outer, .float-wrap, and .center all get changed together,
and only after that is it safe to change col or divider widths. Remember, even one small mistake will degrade or
even break the layout, so be very careful! it's possible to "loosen" the layout so small errors aren't so messy,
but then it becomes hard to finely control text spacing.
For spacing within the cols, it's best to apply margins on content elements inserted into the cols,
because padding directly on those col elements will change their widths, breaking the layout.
Certain hiding hacks have been used extensively in this layout, so here is a quick explaination of them.
The Tan hack:
* html .anyelement {rules read only by IE/Win and IE/Mac}
The Mac-hack: (first the active comment you are reading now must be closed...) */
/* \*/
/* */
/*...Back in comment mode now. Anything between those two comment lines will be hidden from
IE/Mac. Don't use any comments within this hack or it will close prematurely and IE/Mac will begin
reading before it should.
The above two hacks are combined so as to feed rules only to IE/Win. Proper use of backslash escape
characters inside property names used in the Holly hack can further segregate rules to be read by only
IE6 from rules for IE5.x/Win.
These hiding hacks, along with several other fixes, make possible this formerly impossible layout.
It is highly unlikely that new browsers will have any problem with these valid hiding hacks, and
Microsoft does not plan any browser changes soon that would alter the proper operation of the layout.

The problem is that those properties together make IE force the container wider,
which in this type of floated layout causes a float drop. Pre-IE6 gets "width: 100%"
and "overflow: hidden", while IE6 gets "width: auto" and "overflow: visible, which
is the default, but explicitly stating it seems to keep IE6 happy. IE6 also needs
to see the "height: 1%" to give it some kind of box dimension. Browser coddling
we call it. Finally, Bruno found that "word-wrap: break-word;" disarranged the
justified text in IE5.5 and 6, so it is defaulted to "normal" for this text.

<strong>Important new information as of July 2008: </strong>
IE bugs discussed in this obsolete document have been found to be associated with
<a href="http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html"><strong>hasLayout</strong></a>.
Knowledge of this MS concept is essential if you want to make IE behave well
with advanced CSS using floats.
Also see this <a href="articles/haslayout.html"><strong>basic method</strong></a> for specific ways to
combat the IE bugs on your pages.
</p>
<p>
This column is first in the source, being a right float within a left-floated wrapper. The second col
is floated left in that same wrapper, and following the wrapper is the left floated right col.
</p>
<p>
The headings and italicized paragraphs are "widthless" and have 1px red borders to show any width problems
in the columns.
</p>
<img src="images/frog.gif" style="float: right; margin: 5em 15px 0 0; display: inline; width: 129px; height: 114px;"
alt="This image demonstrates how floated items are no problem in the layout" />
<p style="margin: 30px 152px 0 0;">
Mucho thanks to
<a href="http://www.neuance.net/"><strong>Douglas Livingstone</strong></a>,
who developed the brilliant
<a href="http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/3cols2/"><strong>Negative margined floats</strong></a>
method at the heart of this design. Thanks, Douglas! Next step is to add a "sticky footer" as shown by
<a href="http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/3colfixedtest_sourcenone.htm">Paul O'Brian</a>.
</p>
<p style="margin-right: 152px;">
The Master of the Mac, <a href="http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/">Philippe Wittenbergh</a>,
came thru with crucial Mac fixes, as usual, along with
<a href="http://www.sperling.com/">Tedd Sperling</a> on cleanup detail.
<a href="http://65.109.140.59/">Bruno Fassino's</a> work on the text fixes for IE
came along at just the right time. This layout is
truly the result of the efforts of many coders over a long period. Thanks people.

Tweaking the cols can be very confusing due the interlocked nature of the layout, but colored backgrounds
