Simple genius.  Makes too much sense.  Thank you.

Now, for tricks number 2 and 3:

2.  Is there a way to make the inner divs fill the entire space vertically?
3.  What if (and this is a big what if) I wanted a third column on the right
hand side (but still within the bounding box) of a fixed width (in pixels),
and the two existing columns to split 50/50 the remaining space?

Thanks again!
