Hi Thierry,
There's got to be a way to do this, but I'm just not seeing it.
What am I missing?
Did you check this page?
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts
Yeah, I looked before mailing the list and none of the examples I
found seem to do address the combination in a way that I can use, so
I figured I'd pick the brains of those with more CSS-fu than myself :-)
After re-reading the last email I sent, I don't think I explained
what I'm trying to accomplish very well. Here's what I'm trying to do:
* The site itself (which has a min-width of 800px) and the main
column are (or should be) liquid.
* The two columns to the right are fixed width (180px each).
* The right-most column doesn't wrap under the main column when the
window is resized--it just pushes to the right and adds a
horizontal scrollbar.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the right combination of
things to make this work the way it needs to work. When it's all
liquid[1], it works fine, but as soon as I make the two columns on
the right fixed width[2], the layout breaks when the browser is
resized unless min-width is set to almost 900px (which, for various
reasons, is unacceptable in this case).
Even with the min-width set, I'm running into a problem where the
main column doesn't stretch and the margin on the right is too big.
This is most likely because there's a width set on the main column
instead of it stretching to fill whatever space is left. In a
nutshell, I'm trying to reproduce what could be done with a table but
without using one (if that sounds as confusing as I think it does,
email me off list and I'll try to explain it better).
Any ideas that might save my sanity would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
- jim
