Hello there!
We use Movable Type for the recipes section on our website. We have each recipe broken down into three sections using the body, extended and excerpt sections within the MT posting space. Each page has three columns, two for data and a third for ads.
The problem we're encountering is that when we have data in all three fields, the display looks fine. But when we only have data in one field, our normal three column set up becomes wonky and our ad bar (the third column) moves under our first column.
Here is an example of a page that looks correct: http://www.publicradio.org/columns/splendid-table/recipes/special_holiday_index.html
Here is one that's not cooperating:

Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!

You would have to revise the coding for the other 2 fields that you are not filling out on some recipes.
The problem is that you are not closing one of the DIVs when you don't fill out those 2 fields.
In other words, inside the coding for one of those 2 fields you have a cloding DIV, meaning:
</div>
That closing div should be placed after the logic for the 2 fields, so that even when they are not filled out, the closing div appears on the page and does its work for the layout.
Kind Regards,
