Background
I need to do a rather complex layout for a client, using fixed DIV. Everything is fine in IE8, FF3 and Chrome, but IE7 mangles all the thing
Edit: The fixed DIVs are a must, only the content DIV must scroll (That is the spec, sorry)

Notes
I'm not so worried about IE6 because I know it does not support Fixed elements, but if you know how to fix it, great!
Questions
What should I know about IE7 bugs to fix the problem?
How can I reference the left in the header columns relatively to the wrapper
Why the header column goes the the right and the right column disappears?
Found a fix!! Strange enough floating the content to right fixes it!
Do I earn a cookie?

It works on IE7, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome. I guess it will work in IE6 and IE8 too.
I had to reduce the width of the "content" because the (rightcolumn+content+header) < wrapper
The fixed position doesn't work in older browsers. You can float the elements beside each other.
Specify a zero padding for the body also, Opera uses a default padding instead of margin (which actually makes more sense).
I put the styles in a style sheet to make the code cleaner:

<style type="text/css">

#wrapper { width: 960px; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid red; overflow: hidden; }
#header { float: left; width: 185px; height: 600px; border: 1px solid blue; }
#content { float: left; width: 680px; background: white; min-height: 600px; border: 1px solid lime; }

That should do it!
If script-based solutions are acceptable, then I have had some success with fixed divs (not necessarily using the layout you have) using Dean Edwards' upgrade scripts which patch IE behaviours to be more like the standards indicate.

You should add a z-index on your .leftNav component to ensure it's in front of your main col.

It re-sizes with the page but I cant get the whole thing to be in the center of the page.
I just want the whole thing in the middle of the page
Remove the center tag and set margin-top:25%, It will solve your problem.

Id like to make :
1) the header image autoexpanding using the repeated-y css property of DodgerBlue color and Orange div because thy are the only 2 part of image axpandible.
2) Is it possible to define a minimum size of header, and is possible to make the entire body minimum size based that size so the browser cant get smaller an if the window get smaller, scrollbar is show.
Yes, just use min-width in your css. You can also define a max-width if you need too.
Hihi, I am trying to create a slide down menu using DIV, but hit a problem that I can't really figure out how to overcome. Let's take a look at the code below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#menu").click(function () {
$('#menuItem').slideDown('slow');
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 10px;">
<div id="menuItem" style="border: 1px solid blue; position: relative; z-index: 10; float: right; display: none; cursor: pointer;">
MenuItem1<br />
MenuItem2<br />
MenuItem3<br />
MenuItem4<br />
MenuItem5<br />
MenuItem6<br />
MenuItem7
</div>
<div id="menu" style="border: 1px solid blue; position: relative; z-index: 10; float: right; cursor: pointer;">
My Menu
</div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 50px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<div style="width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; border: 1px solid red; padding: 10px; height: 500px;">
<div style=" position: relative; z-index: 1; float: right;">Form Element</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
All I want to achieve is to make my slide down menu stay on top of my form element div. Please advice how can this be done. Many thanks!
:)
Quick and dirty: I added an absolutely-positioned outer containing for the menu, and then applied top:40px to the content div to push it down to compensate for the height of the menu.
<div style="position:absolute;width:100%;">
<div style="width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; padding: 10px; ">
<div id="menuItem" style="border: 1px solid blue; position: relative; z-index: 10; float: right; display: none; cursor: pointer;">
MenuItem1<br />
MenuItem2<br />
MenuItem3<br />
MenuItem4<br />
MenuItem5<br />
MenuItem6<br />
MenuItem7
</div>
<div id="menu" style="border: 1px solid blue; position: relative; z-index: 10; float: right; cursor: pointer;">
My Menu
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 50px 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; position:relative; top:40px; ">
<div style="width: 500px; margin: 0px auto; border: 1px solid red; padding: 10px; height: 500px;">
<div style=" clear:both; z-index: 1; float: right;">Form Element</div>

As I type this, dotty's already answered before me with a pretty much identical approach. However, in the code above, the individual menu divs are properly floating next to each other as you want them to, as they do in the first code you posted in the question.
There are probably some div and styling elements that are a little redundant there now.
Edit: It does occur to me now that the operation of the menu in dotty's code is actually probably how you intended for the menu to be.
Put the #menuItem div inside the #menu div, and set the #menuItem div's position to absolute and remove it's float.

In IE7 I'd like to add some margin to a element that has 100% width of it's parent. But the element overflows it's parent. Somewhat logical, but what's a solution to this problem?
I added a simplified example, where the yellow div overflows it's green parent.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 10px ; background-color: yellow;">
Test
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks.
If you just remove the width: 100%; declaration you're all set:
<div style="width: 500px; height: 200px; background-color: green;">
<div style="height: 100%; margin: 10px ; background-color: yellow;">
Test
</div>
</div>
The default behavior is to stretch to the full width of the container.
