SOFT6007 Class 33

We looked at how to do a three column layout but circumstances conspired against us. May students were late, it took me a while to get the projector working, and then a wasp distracted us. Week 09 is always a bit strange anyway.

I have modified fancy4.html since class to accommodate HTML5's new header and footer tags. fancy5.html uses fixed width columns and a background to fake column backgrounds that go all the way down.
