I have adapted the holy grail three column layout into my site and it works great, except in AOL. I can easily use JavaScript to detect AOL and write new CSS styles after the rest have been evaluated, using document.write(' ');, but even with that freedom I cannot for the life of my style the page right. I was hoping someone could help. Here is the trial page with all evaluated imports etc.:

link text

Any help at all would be great...I need the nav buttons to sit on the breadcrumb bar, the container div to sit flush under that, the left column to be blue to the footer, the center white, the right sidebar to be blue to the footer and...that's it. Doesn't sound hard, right?

My infinite gratitude to anyone who can help.

Er - do a large amount of your users use AOL? Honestly, people still test for AOL browsers?

When I say AOL, I don't mean AOL's standalone browser, I basically mean IE 7. This is what JavaScript tells me about the appVersion:4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729) So, okay, I do mean AOL's own browser, which is apparently IE 7 compliant? That's a laugh. Anyway, I have been using AOL for over a decade and, despite the criticism thrown at them, have experienced very few problems. On the few occasions we have tried other ISPs, we disliked them all due to downtime.

I now use PHP to add inline style rules setting the center div to a fixed with and adjusting margins etc.
