Hi I'm trying to create a web application with a UI that is fundamentally similar to Google Reader, in Rails 3 and probably with some Javascript toolkit (jQuery?). I'm new to web development (my background is in desktop application development), however, and after some experimentation with CSS layout I'm frankly unsure of how to achieve the desired layout. Therefore I'm hoping someone on this list might provide me with some clues :)
At the current stage, I just want to lay out a page with a navigation section to the left and a content section to the right. Like in Reader, I want both sections to take all vertical space (i.e. reach all the way to the bottom of the viewport), and the right section should stretch all the way to the right of the viewport. AFAICT Reader achieves vertical stretching through dynamically setting section heights via Javascript, whereas horizontal stretching is plain CSS (width: 100%). How do I best achieve such a layout in Rails (and with jQuery f.ex.?)? If this isn't the right place to ask, feel free to point me to a more suitable forum :) Thanks!
