    Default 3 col layout with middle fixed width

    I'm looking for a nice cross browser (well, actually I mainly interested in IE8 and ff3) 3 column layout with header and footer where the middle column has a fixed width and the left and right are variable width.

    I like these: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm

    But none have a fixed width center column (could they be modified for a fixed width center col?)

    Any suggestions?

    Off the top of my head I don't think that's possible without server side scripting to determine a user's screen resolution first, before building the page. So it would require more coding than css.

    I'm not understanding. I would like to have the center column a fixed width, which would be reguardless of screen rez. If the user minimized the screen less wide than the center column, scroll bars would appear... Think in tems of a fixed width table.
