I\'m designing a header which is made of 3 parts.
The page must be fluid: min-width:940px; max-width:1200px;
The first two parts of the header will
I don't have enough reputation to comment, but I just wanted to endorse the correctness of the previous answer. I was looking for something slightly different: fixed-liquid-fixed, so tweaked it as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>Three columns</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.main { background-color: #000; }
div.left { float: left; width: 134px; height: 191px; background-color:#0000ff; }
div.middle { height: 191px; background-color: #ff0000; margin-left: 134px; margin-right: 183px;}
div.right { float: right; width: 183px; height: 191px; background-color:#ffff00; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="middle"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Key points to notice: - margins, with float, are used to prevent the body overlapping with the edges. - in my case, you need to reverse the order of the divs in the html - you actually don't need a div for the "middle". One site that does without is the quirksmode blog (it just sets margins directly on the "body" element): http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/browsers/index.html
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Three columns</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.main { background-color: #000; }
div.left { float: left; width: 134px; height: 191px; background-color:#0000ff; }
div.middle { float: left; width: 183px; height: 191px; background-color:#ffff00; }
div.right { height: 191px; background-color: #ff0000; margin-left: 317px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="middle"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
