Hi -

I'm beginning the layout of a new site. The site that I'm looking at for some inspiration and ideas is http://www.evanstonspace.com/. What I like about this site is that there is a background image (or two) on the out side of the main content area. When you resize, or shrink, your browser, the main content area stays the same width `right in the middle, and these background images and columns disappear or shrink as needed.

I'd like to achieve the same kind of layout, but I'm really not sure how to go about doing that.

It looks like a 3-column CSS layout with the center column being a fixed width, the two outter columns being variable width.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Muchas Gracias, and many thanks in advance.

Steve
