3 column layout

a fluid-width "center" column – first in source.

This is a “main content first” variant.

a fixed-width side column – second in source.

a fluid-width side column – third in source.

notes:

This is not an “equal-height columns” layout. It is easily turned into one though.

No provision for IE6' lack of support for 'min-width'. See: min/max in IE for solution to that.

Creation: basic float layout based on negative margins.
