That looks like a two-column layout to me and not four. Four columns are: +---++----++----++---+ | 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 | +---++----++----++---+ | (footer or other) | +--------------------+
You literally have at some point in time on your screen four columns. You have shown 2 columns at the most Then another "container" for info in section 3" And a "footer-type" of container but never four columns side-by-side. Have you gone to the Wiki (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/) and looked at all the layout examples? Now there are TRUE experts on this list who may come back and tell you I'm totally wrong. (I promise not to cry if that happens.) But what you showed visually to me is not four columns. It's a two columns layout with careful use of IDs to get the end result you want. So fellow CSSdiscussers? Am I right or wrong?

Here is a crude rendition of what I'd like: +---++------------+ | 1 || 2 | | |+------------+ | || | | || | +---+| 3 | | | | | | | | | +-----------------+ | 4 | +-----------------+ Column 1 - Menu (fixed to top left) Column 2 - Header (fixed to top) Column 3 - Body (scrollable vertically) Column 4 - Footer (fixed to bottom) 1] Columns 1, 2, and 4 will be absolute and stationary, and column 3 will be scrollable. 2] Columns 2 and 4 should always be visible and ride above column 3, no matter the window size. 3] Column 1 should ride above column 4 (if it's tall enough) 4] Columns 2, 3, and 4 should be expandable to the right (fluid?) to fill the browser window, but always hug column 1, which will be a fixed width. 5] Columns 1 and 2 should be able to 'expand' vertically, depending on their content. 6] There should be no gaps between columns I've tried to be as concise as possible, so let me know if you need more information than what I've given here.
