Hi, I am new to the forum as well as to web designing. I am using asp.net master pages and I am trying to make a basic template to use in future projects. However I am new to this and need an experienced eye to show me my errors and offer suggestions.
My goal is to have a 3 column fluid design with header and footer. The left and right column I want 150px. Other thoughts I have yet to do is actually work on the header section. Basicly I want a logo area (on the left side) a place for login registration on the right and below a menu div.

I would like someone to take a look at what code I have. One major problem is there is a space between the left and center content area I would like to free up, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet in the css. So if you would take a look and please show me how to clean it up. Thanks in advance. Just be warned it is an ugly settup as is, and I am trying to figure things out.



<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="header">

<div id="logo" style="background-color: #808080"><h1>SiteName</h1></div>
</div>

<div id="container">
<div id="center" class="column">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>

<div id="left" class="column"></div>
<div id="right" class="column"></div>
</div>

<div id="footer"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>


CSS


body {
min-width: 550px; /* 2x LC width + RC width */
background-color: Gray;
}
#container {
padding-left: 200px; /* LC width */
padding-right: 150px;
background-color:white; /* RC width */
}

#header {

#container .column {

#left {

right: 200px; /* LC width */
margin-left: -100%;

}
#right {

margin-right: -150px; /* RC width */
background-color: blue;

}
#footer {

/*** IE6 Fix ***/

}
