Thanks to Ted, Bob, Tonico, Christy, Jean, and John for your solutions.
I'm off to start experimenting...
Cheers,

Thanks to all that answered. I'll check out the links, and see how I go. What I think I want is:
#container in ems (so it resizes when someone makes the text larger)
#left-col, #right-col in fixed widths
#main content (or centre-col) with no width so it resizes when text is made larger
I'm off to make a mug a coffee - or should that be 'vat'!? - and see if it's possible.
Cheers,
Tracy
Tracy:
If you can create a layout you like in pixels, then you can create the same in em's. The simple trick is to divide pixels by 16 to arrive at em's. Think of em's as scaling pixels. All of my sites are based solely on em's and not pixels.
Plus, if you want to be able to scale the graphics along with the change in font size (or zoom level), then you can isolate each of your graphics in your css and set the width and height in em's. I've created an example at my site:
