When you're using CSS for positioning, how do you deal with situations where the browser window is a sized smaller than the actuall content? (As when th euser resizes the window) I have a html page with three panels displaying various content. Unfortunately, when the browser is resized the panels drop down one on top of each other (stacked) instead of keeping their position with the browser adding scroll bars. I would like to maintain the panels as-is and have the vertical scroll bar appear when needed.

Fixed - left out position: absolute & left: XXpx for the relavent tags
