newbie response here. my approach might be to place 2 divs in a container, floating everything left or right; then enclosing the container in a wrapper with the third column floated opposite the inner container. the wrapper could have a fixed width or be flexible.
<div id="wrapper" <div id="container"> <div id-"first"> </div> <div id="center"> </div> </div> <div id="third"> </div> </div> css something like this: #wrapper { width: 100% } #first { width: 200px; float: left; } #center { width: auto; margin-left: 220px } #container { float: left; } #third { width: 200px; float: right; } again, newbie brain, but this kind of makes sense to me.
