Hello listers, I've been trying to solve a 3-column problem and thought the recent ALA layout might do it. In a nutshell here are my requirements: *middle column needs to be flexible, right and left can be fixed width *pages have a header and footer *I have no control over the content in the middle column (even the markup)
The problem with all the layouts I have tried usually hinges on elements that are extra-wide in the center column: select menus, URLs, text fields, etc. Often the center column will drop down below the others (in IE in particular). In the ALA layout IE goes all crazy when there is a wide select menu, and FF/Windows allows the menu to slide under the right column. What I would like is for the center column to never get any narrower than any fixed-width content and throw up a horizontal scrollbar instead. Here is my test with the ALA layout: http://tinyurl.com/capkk I would sure appreciate any thoughts or references that might get me going in the right direction. The solution is so obvious if one used a single table! Thanks, Don Hinshaw ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
