Challenge of fluidity

[harrymossman]

Our agency web sites are going from tables to css. The draft template allows resizing between 590 and 1200 pixels. There will be a standard header, footer and left navigation panel.

How do you deal with that much fluidity? Any good examples?

Our current pages look terrible stretched out to 1200 pixels. The usability completely disappears.

I'm thinking 4 columns: fixed, fluid, fluid, fixed.

Are your images supposed to hang out of the bottom of the white box? I didn't look at the page in IE, but in firefox your images are not contained w/in the white box. The white box only extends down as far as the text, which is commonly caused by having floating items inside a block level container [small](likely the images, I didn't look at the code)[/small]. As much as I'm not a fan of empty markup, you may want to consider putting this div into your page at the bottom of the white container:

<div style="clear:left"></div>

or you can float the white container which will cause it to stretch and wrap around the floated child elements, but then you'll lose your center positioning.

You don't have to protect him, we know it must be very difficult dealing with him

Thanks Kaht, I tried your suggestion but did not retest it with Firefox as I don't have it on the machine I am working with.

The box stretches around the images now.
