thanks for the reply - there must surely be a way of doing this without
js ?!?

i mean, if i used tables to lay out my page (shock-horror), I would
simply be able to set the cell border, as the table would extend be as
tall as the content in the left or middle or right columns.

now, with css, I have three independent(ish) divs, so by setting the
middle div's left border it works until the middle div is smaller then
the left div, and vice versa for the left div.

I've notices some people use a container div and tile (repeat-y) a
background on it, which does work. Now, if I could do and offset
border, i might be able to achieve the same.

Also, i'm tempted to use "height: 100%"... but I've not had to use
height yet, and I've had problems with setting the height as a
percentage in the past - is this the solution maybe?
