Hi, Dante,
this is another example how easily it could be done with %% units:
<div id=navbar >...</div>
<div id=left style="display:inline-block; height:100%%; width:15em">...
<div id=body style="display:inline-block; height:100%%; width:100%%">...
<div id=rigth style="display:inline-block; height:100%%; width:20em">...

Subject: 'offsetWidth/height' function

> 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.

support in modern browsers sometime in the coming weeks.
