Equal Height Columns - revisited - In search of the One True Layout
Because equal height columns are a perfectly reasonable design goal. And the even more astute disciple will be nodding sagely, ruminating over the problems that flow from faux columns. Namely:

1. you have to change your background images any time you adjust the widths of your columns
2. you have to do some weird and brain-hurting calculations if your design is not a fixed-width pixel-based layout
3. you have to create background images in the first place, even if all you want to do is apply a solid background colour (or heaven forbid, a simple gutter line)
4. you have to add an additional wrapping container div for each additional faux column you want
5. some layouts are quite simply impossible to achieve [1]

The most astute disciple is already one step ahead and is awaiting the pronouncement that Faux Columns are dead. I wouldn't go that far - in fact, they probably remain the weapon of choice. However, the method about to be described certainly provides an alternative that overcomes the problems above in some, if not all, circumstances.
