CSS 2px Border

[Bongo56]

I am working on a project that I need to have a 3 column fluid layout, which i can find, but it also has to have a 2px solid border around the left right and center columns, while maintaining a max-width of 718px.

I have tried the holy grail layout

this works except that I need the page to have a max width of 718px...

this works great for max-width

but if you try to apply a 2px solid border to all three columns, the left and right column borders either do not go all the way down, or the column gets shoved down below the center column.

Include the border widths in the total width of the document.

The max/min-width does not work for IE5 browsers.

alright, that worked... but one last problem

the border does not run all the way to the bottom on the right and left columns

There appears to be a problem with the css
