try a #wrapper-div width:99%; (allow total 1% for padding, border etc)

then inside the wrapper div,
text1-div 34.5%
imag-div 29.5%
text2-div 34.5% (sum widths 100% incl padding etc)

[close #wrapper-div 99% div]

yep. lots of bigtime sites use tables .. google seems to be using some styles on beta
groups, but i think structure is still tables... ???
