Kepler,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm using a 3 column elastic design with a min-width of 54 em. The
content div stretches like a hybrid does, but the left and right sidebars
don't. The header and footer will stretch without a problem as well. The
content is embedded between the sidebars and the header doesn't quite reach
the window edges because of a dliberate 10px margin. Adding the CSS for
clarity:
div.leftSidebar {
width: 10em;
float: left;
}
div.rightSidebar {
width: 10em;
float: right;
}
div.content {
min-width: 30em;
margin-left: 10em;
margin-right: 10em;
}
div.footer {
clear: both;
}
I had tried chaning the width and overflow. No visible effects were
observed.
Have I logically omitted or overlooked something here ?
Thanks again,
Mathew
