I have been trying to get a page that is two columns with a header and footer that is centered in the page. Also, i needed the two columns to adjust to be the same height as each other depending on which one was longer. I finally got it to work in Netscape/Mozilla but not in IE. I ended up using a *cough*small layout table*cough**cough* in the design to get the two columns to work the way I wanted them too. Is there a better way to do this to make it work in IE as well? Or is there something else I can do to make what i have work?
Thanks in advance.

I could make some enemies saying this, but at this point I like table layouts. And it's not for lack of learning CSS -- I've created several sites over the last year and a half.
In fact, I still go for table based layouts BECAUSE of that experience. CSS solutions that "should" work so often fail in unanticipated ways on certain browsers and OS.
I'm tired of creating a prototype page only to see it break on IE5.2/macintosh or whatever. I chose that particular combination because IE on the macintosh is well over 5% on many sites that I work with. And it is a cranky one!
Unles you have a specific need to use a CSS layout, this job is so simply accomplished with a layout table that I would not borrow any trouble.
