I need some assistance to build an interface (to be used on phpbb2, postnuke, tikiwiki, and a few other places) which uses a 'full screen' type web environment.
The Desire: Three Rows of content, spanning the width and height of the browser window.
The first row should be around 40px high and remain static at the top of the browser window - will contain logo, search bar, logged in as, etc.
The third row is akin to the first except it sits on the bottom of the window - providing any byline, copywrite info, current time and date, etc.
The second row would contain two columns. The left column will contain the atypical site menu, user info, etc - non scrollable and fixed. The right column should effectivly be a self contained iframe, although a nice DIV box with auto scrollbars would fit the bill.
Hope that makes some sense ... if not, here's my ascii art :)

The only way I can think of doing it is by using width=100 and height=100 within a table - something I'm really trying to avoid for obvious reasons.
Has anyone encountered such a site or example online? Perhaps some advice on how to build CSS2 to format such a web environment? All and any help greatly desired!

I suppose the best way to describe my situation is I'm looking for a way to emulate frames with CSS2.
Sometimes, I need to engage my brain ...

Try a search for
3 column layout
That'll see you right
