Now, perhaps, you can drop the bullshit insinuations and insulting tone and explain why it's so goddamn important for the sidebars to have 250 and 150 fixed pixels, respectivly, at the expense of the main content column.
Fixed pixels also cause serious problems when someone ups the font size to something which works best for them.
This is why I prefer ems instead of pixels; they usually scale better with user preferences.

Okay, my post on three-column layouts via CSS -- as implemented on the Shock and Awe site -- has been posted on my technical blog, .
You can read it at http://www.maccessibility.com/archive/000792.php.
By the way, I agree that the new Electrolite site looks marvy! There are several ways to get three-column layouts reliably in CSS.

Someone using a screen reader doesn't get stuck with disjointed information reading across table cells.
While I obviously believe it's good to be concerned with users with screen readers and other people with disabilities, it's important to note that disjointed text from table cells has not really been a problem for years.
Older screen readers couldn't handle it. All modern screen readers do. And older screen readers are as likely to have problems with CSS layouts as with HTML layouts.

I really should write up something about this.
I just spent about an hour yesterday getting the new Shock and Awe layout to work effectively in Windows IE.
Other browsers worked just fine on standard code.
You can view the new stylesheet at http://shock-awe.info/styles/sa.css -- let me know if the site itself has any problems in your browsers.
