You can use percentages, but combining actual pixel values, with percentages, doesn't seem to work to well. Ideally the easiest thing for you to do would be to declare all three columns by percentages, but of course, that doesn't guarantee you 150px size at all. That's a tricky layout issue actually. Is it possible to see you page and I may be able to suggest a means as to approach it?

Alan, this is not fancy but it will do what you are looking for. You can go with a fancier menu if you want and change the colors by making changes in the style sheet.

Having problem with layers.

Ok, so I've watched the videos on layers here, but am still having problems getting them to work correctly. I know how I can make tables work, but I was wanting to try something new this time. Here's what I'm wanting to do. I'm wanting a layout with a header, a right column, a center body, a left column, and a footer. I finally got the basic layout to work with layers but am now having problems with the sizing. I basically want the left and right columns to stay the same size, but I want the center column, the header, and the footer all to stretch or shrink as the page is resized. Also I have noticed that the way I have the page set up now, if i shrink the page so much the center column pops below the left column and on top of the footer. How can I can I fix this, If I can at all, with Layers. I know with table I could just set the right and left columns width to 150 pixels, the footer and header's to 100% and then the middle column to a certain percent. But as far as I can tell, you can not use percentage as a measurement for a layers width.

Thanks in advanced for all the help and kudos on the videos!
