A common problem with CSS is two column stretching. The navbar should be as long (no more, no less) than the content div. CSS does not yet have a rule for this (see http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/3column.html)
I propose this for CSS(3):
div#navbar {
height: offsetHeight(div#content)px;
width: 25%;
}
The 'px' at the end is optional.
This may not be the best syntax, but CSS does need some sort of a rule so we can keep DHTML Javascript doing what it does best: enhancing usability, not doing something CSS *should* be capable of doing.
By the way, evolt.org is going to publish an article I wrote about CSS3 support in modern browsers sometime in the coming weeks.
Cheers,
Dante
