<p>I've been trying to recreate the layout of w3future.com without tables. I couldn't even get close. Just the main layout was a problem: a header at the top; a footer at the bottom; two blocks, one with a fixed width and the other taking up the rest of the width, both filling the space between header and footer. This while I think I know CSS fairly well and I have been paying attention to all CSS discussions lately. So I challenge anyone to recreate w3future.com without tables, <em>with the least caveats</em>. If you want to give it a try, don't just use any page from w3future.com, but use <a href="http://w3future.com/weblog/plainpage.html">this special simplified self-contained page</a>.</p>

I had chosen it as my prefered pallete a while ago. Today I've decided I like it so much it should be the default w3future.com palette. To the person who created this palette: Thanks!</p>
