[thelist] CSS three-columns nested

On several pages at my site, I am trying to produce three columns with CSS, inside of a <div> with a border and different background color. The columns work great in Opera and IE, but in Netscape 6.2/Win, they appear outside of my container <div>.

The revelant code is as follows:

.main {
	position:absolute;
	width:80%;
	left:9%;
}

.columm {
	position:relative;
	width:33%;
	float:left;
}

<div class=\"main\">
    ...
    <div class=\"column\">foo</div> <!-- 3x -->
</div>


Does anyone see my mistake, or is such behavior just a quirk? The page is at <http://home.nfillmore.com/links/test.php>.

Thanks!

Nate
