layout problems

Gman · 8 May 2008 at 20:20

I;m trying to achieve the folloing layout on a page

The layout needs to be liquid not fixed. However the col on the right had side needs to be fixed at a width of 240px.

The Rows at the top and bottom need to have foxed heights of around 30px.

The big left col needs to be liquid but its content need to fit the full height/width of the area along with a scrole bar i.e. overflow:auto , on the y axis only.

I can achieve this using tabes but i'm haivng problem trying to make a copy using div's and css. This needs to work in IE7 and IE6 not bothered about firefox for this at the moment.

Ayone fancy a crack at this ?

Just wondering if you have got your layout issue sorted yet

Gman, just google for "2 column liquid layout" and you'll find plenty of examples.

naww gave up when it was talking too long. did plenty of searches for the liquid layouts and all I found where liquid widths not height.

I managed to partially get it work when I last tried but the liquidness was screwing up when you shrunk it too much.

Hi there

Here is a quick go at the layout I think you wanted? :confused:

Feel free to grab the .css and HTML if you like

nice try but its not liquid. it needs to fill the screen i.e. 100% width and 100% height and reduce/increase in size as you reduce/increase your browser size.
