I think john and holly's instructions were to set it up that way - make the container a percentage of the whole width and float it left; float the middle column in the right hand side of that; float the left column in the left hand side and then add the right column in the empty space on the right. Dunno why.
If I make the containing div 100% wide, I wonder if I can float all three columns in it and will that solve the problem?...

I guess what I want is something that will display more or less full screen on 800 wide monitor, and will display same width but with bigger margins left and right on a bigger monitor.

Three column help for a beginner!
Hi
I'm trying to design a simple three-column website using html and an external stylesheet.
I have a header of 750px wide, navbar underneath is the same width, both centred.
Now I want to put three columns underneath (left and right 150px wide; middle to fit the remaining space), lined up with the left and right edges of the header/navbar. At the bottom, I want to add a footer right across to match the...
