Every couple of years, I revisit an old Web site I did, hoping to improve its layout or coding. The criteria are:
- 3-column with header & footer. - Source-ordered: 2nd column in source @ left, 1st column in source @ center, 3rd column in source @ right. - Left & right column have fixed width; center column expands to fill available space. - Total width fills viewport. - Must support IE6. And every couple of years, I spend a few hours scouring the Web (and CSS-D) for solutions. It seems there's always something missing: if it's source-ordered and fixed-fluid-fixed, it won't work in IE6. If it works in IE6 and is fixed-fluid-fixed, the source order isn't optimal. (e.g. "center" content comes after "left"navigation.) If it's source-ordered and works in all browsers, each column is set in liquid percentages. At this point, I would assume that I can have any 2 options in the title of this post, but never all 3. Can someone either point me to THE layout that makes the angels sing, or confirm my assumption and give me a clear conscience? Thanks for your help!
