I'd really like a footer too. :(

Just before the final

</body>
add:
<div id="footer">
<p>This is a footer. Blah blah blah.</p>
</div>
then style #footer to taste. Works in IE6, Firefox, Opera...

The header didn't span the right column following your suggestions.
Take a look at http://www.seobm.com/test/layout02.shtml to see what I
mean. Perhaps I didn't follow your instructions correctly?

Ah yes. Sorry about that. I had added enough content in my local sample
to give the center column enough height to be longer than either
sidebar.

Nope, no easy trick that I see at a glance. There are other samples out
there with footers, though, that claim to stay below all columns. Google
around...

Anybody have suggestions on how to fix my original 3 column layout
with header and footer or a link to one that works with ems, not
pixels...

The only pixels I see in Toby's layout are:
.sidebar li { margin: 0 10px 0 20px; padding: 0; }
and it seems to work just as well with:
.sidebar li { margin: 0 1em 0 2em; padding: 0; }

I'm confused. I didn't see any mention of pixels in Toby's article.
Where did you find
.sidebar li { margin: 0 10px 0 20px; padding: 0; }?

In the style ***. :-/
