4 column layout - any column can be the longest. Footer will stay at bottom of window unless content is greater then it stays at bottom of document.

Only tested on PC (IE5, 5.5 , 6, Mozilla 1.2 , Firebird 0.6.1, Opera7,Netscape 6.2). Opera 6 doesn't like the footer but it's usable.I expect ie5 mac and older browsers will fall over.

The left and right column colours are the background showing through. A different left column background colour can be achieved by using a repeating image on the left side of the body as in this example.

The left column has been split into 2 floats for this example and the repeating background image is just 2 colours to give the 2 column colors

There is nothing special about this demo as similar techniques have been used before, however they are not usually integrated into one example. The secret to this demo is the left and right columns which are floated negatively from the centre container. If you float them completely in the gaps at the side then they don't clear the footer. However if you leave them overlapping the centre content by 1 pixel then the footer is pushed down as required. The difference can be made up with padding etc.
