Out of curiousity, why?

Thanks. I'd already tried that before posting though and I couldn't get  
it to work. The left and right columns are positioned absolutely with  
respect to the left and right hand sides of the screen. Your solution  
will only work if the screen size is known in advance and everyone uses  
the same screen size. I could position all 3 columns absolutely but then  
the result would be positioned to the left (or right) of the screen  
rather than centered. 
 
Cheers
