Why is this layout not working?

I've got the basic concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

I can't figure out why I cannot get a three column layout to work properly. The footer is getting covered up instead of showing at the very bottom.

Any help that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

This is the page I'm working on currently:
I'm still trying to get a good grasp on this stuff. It's not as easy as it should be :)
 
You need to clear some of your inner column floats as well as the outer ones. Personally, I'd use the clearfix trick on Position Is Everything - which I swear by.

The other option, given you're using tables for layout anyway, is to ditch floats and do the whole lot in tables. This isn't my preferred option, but if you've got tables in there anyway, then in for a penny, in for a pound!

Hope this helps,

I'm trying to get rid of the tables. Before I do, I need to get the columns working first. I'll look up the clearfix trick and figure out how to clear the inner columns.
