How Top Get "Boxed In"

Greg Heilers

Hola all....
I need to code a site for a friend who wants a 3-box
layout, such as this:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
These will not simply be "text areas", but colored and
bordered boxes, containing the content. I am seeking
advice on how to best handle them "units-of-measurement"
wise. It is an art site, so "pretty presentation" is
important. I was hoping to find the best, as well as
elegant CSS solution (i.e. no <table>). Laying
down everything in <div>'s positioned pixel-by-pixel
works...but plays havoc on some systems when attempting
to change window sizes, or other adjustments (especially
I.E., which has the big problem with px). Which method
of dimensioning/measuring would work best, for both the
boxes, as well as fonts, that would work best for
*all* browsers, resolutions, and/or platforms? Nothing
I have tinkered with seems to be a perfect solution.

Thanks in advance, for the usual wonderful advice.
