I'm using the three column layout from Glish to produce a three column layout with fixed outer columns and a fluid centre column.

However, because this technique uses absolute positioning to position the outer columns, things get pair shaped when one or both of the outer columns are longer than the centre column, because the footer rests below the height of the centre column as opposed to below the height of the larger columns (hence the footer is half way up the page).

Obviously, clearfix doesn't work because of the absolute positioning which is involved in this method from Glish.

I've always used the Glish method when using a fluid centre column. I guess I'm looking for a modification to this method to allow the footer to sit under the longest column (whether it is left, centre, or right) or if there is a totally different method for a fluid centre column, I would appreciate a link or advice on how to do it.

I have, in the past, defined a specific height for the centre column on each individual page to make it longer than the outer columns which in turn pushes the footer down, but the site I'm working on right now is going to be updated by the client via a CMS, so a fixed height which is hard-coded in to each page isn't going to work.

Thanks in advance!

if you dont need back ground images, then this should work for you: http://www.sitecreative.net/jh/

if you do though, then it might be a problem.

Hate to blow my own trumpet, but my own templates that I've referenced in the past should work just fine for this. The advantage of this method is that the columns are also source-ordered.

Specify an overall width on #pagewrap (can be px, em or %), your #sec and #ter fixed dimensions, and #pri will always fill the remaining space, no matter if it's fixed-width or fluid.

I’m sorry. Really. I didn’t name it. I don’t mean to overstate its importance or trivializeemc training

But the name’s out there, and we all know what it means.

Three columns. hyperion training

wide applicability in this golden age of blogging, along with its considerable difficulty, is what has earned the layout the title of Holy Grail.
