I'm using Fluid 960 at the moment, and I'm getting some weird behavior with alpha/omega. My understanding of alpha/omega is that it's used to fix left/right margins in nested grids.

However, when I apply alpha/omega to a pair of nested grids, the left hand side grid has a really shallow indent while the right hand side grid has a large right-hand side indent (visual observations). Anyone know what's going on?

A: 

Its only needed for nested grids eg.

<div class="container_12">
    <div class="grid_2">sidebar</div>
    <div class="grid_6">
        <div class="grid_2 alpha">
            1
        </div>
        <div class="grid_2">
            2
        </div>
        <div class="grid_2 omega">
            3
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="grid_2">photo's</div>
    <div class="grid_2">advertisement</div>
</div>

Works as expected now.
