For those of you who looked at my CSS based three column template in the past and had difficulty with it, I've released Eric's Templates, version 1.1. This version looks fairly similar, but has some improvements:

• The Internet Exploder Explorer bug that afflicted it is now fixed. Please don't ever ask me to invest so much effort in fixing a "problem" again! It wasn't my template's fault, it was the fault of the IE bug features.
• The bug code that caused a javascript to not function correctly on several pages is fixed
• Several minor MT tag bugs are fixed

You could, if you implemented ver 1.0, implement this version by simply dropping in the style sheet and rebuilding it. The only thing is you may have to change your banner if it is more than 500 pixels wide, since the banner space is not as large as it used to be.

New features are planned for version 1.2, including completely script based left and right columns. Once I implement that feature you will be able to add links and such without having to do any template rebuilds. I've already got that partially working on my own blog, but it needs a bit more work to be ready for prime time, along with some implementation doco. If you want to use that feature now, drop me an email and you can beta test it.

2 It was actually a lot of fun to do. Except, of course, figuring out how to code around IE's complete lack of compliance with browser standards. I plan to keep improving it and making it better, so stay tuned. I'm also thinking it may be time to change the colors, just to throw folks off a little bit. ;-)

3 I wonder if IE7 will be an improvement.

There is one standard that IE implements perfectly, but no other brower does. This standard specifies that a second-level domain name has to be at least three characters to be a valid host name. So mu.nu - to pick an example at random - isn't considered a valid host name and IE won't store cookies for it.

I hate IE.

4 Nice.

I like that your middle column loads before the sides. That's good design (I did the same thing with my template, to toot my own horn ;-).

5 Pixy, if the MS boys can figure out that complying with standards helps gain customer loyalty IE7 might be better. Otherwise, doubtful.

John, thanks for the kudos. I got the idea to load the center column first from you, actually!
