    How would I style column classes? I have several 1/3'rd columns, I would like to have alternating colors vertically (grey, white, grey, white...)

    I have tried the following:

    .one-third2 {
    width: 31%;
    background: #eee;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
    }

    and

    .first2 {
    background: #fff;
    clear: both;
    padding-left: 0;
    }

    I've also tried .one-third2 while removing the width and removing the clear and padding-left from .first2. My result is that the column classes are thrown off and end up stacking.

    Did you also add floats to them?

    May I add a rookie question to this discussion on Columns? I'm using a two column layout on a page and after the two columns, I go to a one column wide gravity form. Everything is working except the H4 tag above the form is floating to the right. I tried putting that section of the page in a Div but it didn't help.  How do you control that heading to stay left? If it's a float, how do you do that inline?

    Thanks

    Disregard. The second column had an image in it and the pushing around of the heading tag below had to do with the image, not the columns. Sorry to bother everyone.
