div positioning in CSS?

[mcryptic]

I'm trying to find a way to postition 3 divs within one div, but i keep running into problems. I can get the divs to fit within the area i want, but when the browser window is re-sized small enough they over lap each other. Right now the way i'm positioning the divs with position: absolute; or position: relative.

here is the basic layout i'm working on: www.netterra.com/test/css.html

and the css file is here: www.netterra.com/test/style.css

the html is valid xhtml and the css file also validates.

i know it looks like ass right now, i've only been working with css for a few hours, and i haven't designed any particular theme for the site.

i would like to do the site entirely in CSS, and don't want to use tables at all if its possible.

the layout you are going for is one of those, i'm way too lazy to check which one

good luck

thanks, i think i got it working now, i guess i needed to set the middle one to inherit.
