ok then three regions next to each other, but that won't stop the bleeding of sections togeather. That could be either broken html or if you used floats perhaps you didn't clear them, there is a nice clearfix class in the drupal css implemented as a 'after' pseudo class that does a great job. You can create a class instance with the after class on your containers that can solve a lot of css placement problems.<br>

I did not say that the solution described in the link I supplied is not<br>
usable but merely wondered whether there were other solutions. As for<br>
broken HTML, that is most certainly a possibility but I have not found<br>
it. As for 2 regions side-by-side, that is not what I had in mind, nor<br>
what I described.<br>
